NAME

gotthard —

ssh through https proxy tunnel

SYNOPSIS

gotthard [-hv] [-c configfile]

DESCRIPTION

gotthard is a daemon which tunnels ssh(1) sessions through an https proxy.

The options are as follows:

-h: Prints short listing of gotthard options.
-v: Shows version.
-c configfile: Choose an alternate configuration file. The default configuration file is /etc/gotthard.conf.

In the configuration file you define on which address gotthard shall listen for client connections, the address the https proxy listens on, and which external address to connect to after passing through the https proxy. The external host is the one running sshd(8). After gotthard has been started you can establish connections like in this example:

ssh -p 2222 hacki@localhost

If the https proxy needs user authentication, you can do so by using the auth option in the configuration file. This string must be in the format <username>:<password>.

EXAMPLES

The following is an example configuration file:

auth user:password
listen 127.0.0.1:2222
proxy 10.0.0.1:3128
external 192.168.0.1:22

FILES

/etc/gotthard.conf: default configuration file
~HOME/.gotthard/gotthard.log: log file
~HOME/.gotthard/gotthard.pid: pid file

HISTORY

First version of gotthard was written in 2001.
