Step 4 – Configure PuTTY for a Web Browser Tunnel.Īt the Tunnels page, configure a Dynamic port between the ranges of 49152-65535.

Advanced Scenario (Dynamic Port Forwarding) We shall proceed with a browser tunnel configuration. There are several ways to configure a Tunnel. In the Category menu, drill down to Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels. Once the configuration setup is complete, open an RDP connection and enter your local IP ( 127.0.0.1), along with the local port configuration in PuTTY.Īs illustrated above, if I enter 127.0.0.1:50001, my connection will translate to the server 172.128.123. Doing so will allow you to configure PuTTY to your web browser. Configuring a specific** Local** port such as **50002 **will redirect to 80 of your destination server. Please note that you may configure your ports for multiple servers simultaneously. Here is an example from my local machine I would like to go to 172.128.123.10, server port 3389.

Select Local and Auto to activate IPv4 and IPv6. In the Destination field, enter the IP address as well as the destination port. In the Source Port field, enter the local port that will be redirected. In the Tunnels section in PuTTY, configure a specific** Local** port, such as 50001, that will redirect to 3389 of your destination server. If your session already exists, **Load **it as shown below: Enter your Saved Sessions name, and click Save. In your PuTTY configuration, configure the Host Name and Port of your remote SSH computer. In this procedure, we will use Internet Explorer, Firefox and an RDP connection to demonstrate the use of a tunnel with an SSH connection, as well as configuring the tunnel with several other protocol types. This process is achieved through your PuTTY configuration. Furthermore, you can specify a port and a destination IP to have direct access. What you probably weren’t aware of is that you can use a dynamic tunnel to access all remote infrastructure. Most of you have probably used a tunnel with an SSH connection.
