SSH Proxy and http proxy?

**balakrish** · 14-05-2012, 05:24 PM

Hi friend!
Actually I have two pc-s. One is here and another one is "some where" else. I got very fast internet connection on that 2nd pc. 1st PC runs ubuntu 12.04LTS and second one also runs ubuntu 12.04LTS.
I always use ssh tunneled proxy to ensure my internet privacy. I create ssh tunnel using the following command on my first pc:

Code:

ssh -D 8080 balakrish@mySecondPcIp.com

This will create ssh socks proxy and i will have to configure my firefox to use that proxy. Now let me come to the actual problem

I've configured my second pc to use a http proxy to ensure more privacy.
by changing the .bashrc file:

Code:

http_proxy=http://username: password@httpProxyIp: port/

2nd machine uses this proxy as its http proxy. But whenever i tunnel my second machine from my first machine,it actually doesn't use the proxy,instead it goes directly to internet. Where im doing wrong???

Thank you,
Balakrish
