hconnect

hconnect can establish a TCP connection to a host behind a proxy. It is similar to [corkskrew][corkscrew] or nc -Xconnect -x..., but can authenticate against a proxy using the basic or negotiate via Kerberos (using the GSS-API Linux and macOS or SSPI on Windows) authorization method

Usage

The following command will establish a TCP connection with the host behind the proxy proxy.exmaple.com listening on port 8080. When the proxy responds with 407 Proxy Authentication Required, when the file ~/.netrc exists hconnect will consult it for an entry for the given post host. If no such entry can be found or the file does not exists, hconnect will try to generate a Kerberos token.

hconnect proxy.example.com:8080 %h:%p

SSH

Place the following fragment in your ~/.ssh/config file:

ProxyCommand hconnect proxy.example.com:8080 %h:%p
