http proxies wont do anything to hide you when you login using SSH.

HTTP = port 80 SSH = port 22

so, it wont work if its on a seperate port.

If you want to be anonymous, then you'll have to use another shell, and use that as a proxy.

You –[connect to remote shell]—> [shell 1] –[connect to final SSH server]

that way the SSH logs will have "shell 1"'s IP and not yours.

You're dumb.

He doesn't mean for HTTP.

He means for the protocols support by Putty.

Cheese, it's actually very risky to rely on other shells for privacy. Dedicated proxies are the way to go, but the more you can throw in the better. Proxies through shells, sure.

I think someone should write an artical on what putty is and how to use it.

yeah, an article on putty would be a good idea. it is a very handy tool and good for leaning unix(or linux) commands in without having the os. i know i would read an article on it. it should have something on choosing a good shell to use aswell. i use SDF.lonstar.org sometimes, but its a limited account unless you pay so i could do with a better shell.:D

Doesn't anyone on here have shell accounts to give away? It would suprise me if no one did.

As far as the comment about being a good way to learn linux without having the OS..

Er..

No. You need the OS. Someone else is just providing it for you. You could also use VMWare or Cygwin if you chose.

Putty is an SSH/Telnet/SFTP client, nothing more. It implements all the features imaginable from the unix ssh-client application, including pub/priv SSL keys for password-free logon, and so on.
