Create ssh tunnel mac how to#

It's important to remember that, while protocol obfuscation can make automated detection or censorship more difficult, it does little to prevent an intelligent analyst with access to traffic dumps from realizing that the traffic is OpenSSH traffic. You can also use obfsproxy directly on SSH. You need only a basic understanding of networking to bring up a virtual interface for the tunnels and assign a local IP to it so you can connect using your SSH utility. You could use the techniques outlined in it ( static keys and obfsproxy) to create a tunnel through which SSH can run.

I explained in another answer how to prevent OpenVPN traffic from being detected as such. You could create an obfuscated VPN tunnel between the client and server and connect with SSH through that. There are other ways to obfuscate SSH traffic as well. It is not particularly advanced, but will likely hamper automated protocol detection. Judging by a quick read of the patch, this particular obfuscation seems to add a random length of padding to packets and encrypt the handshake using a preshared key stored in the configuration file of both the client and server.

* This particular obfuscated protocol is explained in more detail on its site.

A more up-to-date patch (supporting OpenSSH 7.6 as of this answer) is available on GitHub. Note that the patch mentioned there seems to be no longer maintained, so it may have security issues if you do not backport fixes.
