At my workplace i am trying to establish a connection to a server on the web that uses the port 4444. Normally i can connect to it via my home pc by just connecting to the serveraddress:4444. When i try the same connection at work, i am unable to connect.

I have tried disabling all firewalls in my power, but still no luck.

My home PC has an SSH server on it which i can successfully connect to VIA putty at work. I want to be able to set up some kind of "tunnel" so when i type serveraddress:4444 on the work machine, it will go through my home pc and be able to connect to serveraddress:4444 via it.

My question is how do i configure putty to let me do this? So far all my attempts at port settings have failed. Im not sure what to put for source and destination in putty, etc.

Thanks,

Jon

SSH over port 80? That's uncommon; port 80 is normally HTTP traffic. SSH is normally 22, though it's often changed so that it's not found by random attackers.

I guess you could SSH into your home box, then run SSH from that terminal. Should work, though I haven't tried it.
