Can anyone login to BlueGrass?

[lander]

The homepage loads, but I haven't been able to log in since Saturday

Can anyone actually login?

I don't have an account, so not sure. wil.

Logged in as guest no problem.

The home page is on the www.betbg.com server, but login seems to redirect to wager.betbg.com , so perhaps my IP was blocked by the Millenium guys

I could also login from a free IP cloaking site.

Thx Wil.

 

[wilheim]

IP cloaking site? Is that what the Klingons used to get away from Capt. Kirk all the time?

lol - basically they're SSH tunneling services that charge for what I have setup in my home so that I can "anonymously" gamble at work

Interesting Lander, can you enlighten us exactly how this is used from your computer at work? Also is this service offered from your internet provider and at what cost?

I set up a SSHD server on port 80 at home (solely because my work blocks everything except port 80 & 443 - default HTTP & HTTPS). I also have a Proxy Webserver setup at home using Apache on port 8888 (any port is fine), but it is restricted so that it only accepts connections from 127.0.0.1 (ie, the same PC that it resides on).

At work I setup my IE to use a proxy on 127.0.0.1 port 80 and run a SSH client to my home machine on port 80 (SSH is 22 by default, but you can override that) called PUTTY with port forwarding to port 8888.

So basically what my Network guys see is a SSH (securely encrypted) tunnel to my home LAN.

The flow is like this
A = my work PC
B = my home PC

on A, IE proxies HTTP requests to 127.0.0.1:80 (the Putty SSH client) who is connected securely to my home, B, on port 80 - but along with encryping the requests and responses it tells my machine B to have the SSHD server forward the HTTP request to my home proxy server 8888 ..

it does and sends the response back.

it's a beautiful thing

Of course, you have to worry about network guys using keystroke logger, remote desktop, or simply checking out your cached web pages

 

[lander]

No, my ISP has NADA to do with this except that they obviously provide a network connection for my home LAN.

Thanks, I'll need to digest that awahile.

Amazing what a guy can pick up at a good college. Lander as a senior dean's list student.

Lander, that pict does you injustice. Could be Klink's photo when he went to Rider in the 40's.

Boston1,
Here are the links I used for reference when I set it up the 1st time (took about an hour)

http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:fP3nDK83SYwJ:www.buzzsurf.com/surfatwork/+surfatwork+Open+SSH&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 (great site, but unfortunately it's gone - this is Google's Cached copy)
http://www.openssh.com/ (Free SSHD server for Windows - there are a few for Linux, and they're better)
http://lexa.mckenna.edu/sshwindows/ (a little SSH info)

 

[lander]

Sorry, one more nuisence - use a SSHD, SSH client that uses SSH2 protocol (SSH 1.X had a security vulernability - or so I heard).

 

[wilheim]

Excellent view of Lander's handiwork:
