Failure in the internet connection by the browser but not to other services such as spotify

  • 772

Recently, at least in Mexico, there have been failures in the network of the main telecommunications company. This failure prevents its users from accessing the Internet or only allows access to certain sites (you can only access Google's, which is curious). But I realized that I can use Spotify or access servers through ssh.

How can I have access to the other sites that are denied to me?

    sshhas the option -Dthat specifies dynamic forwarding on a specified port.

    If you have installed sshand have a server to access that could be far from your Internet provider's domain, for example, the one of your school, work, one created in AWS or GCP, whatever, use the following:

    ssh -C -D <puerto> <usuario>@<dirección del servidor>

    where the option -Coperates to compress the transmitted data.

    In addition to these parameters, it can be used -Nfso that no command is executed and runs as a background process.

    Once you have that option, you can use firefox and set up a proxy as indicated here in the SOCKS Host section with the address 127.0.0.1 and the port you chose when you logged in with ssh.

    Or also, if you are in Windows, open the "Internet Properties" option > "LAN Settings" button, "Proxy Server" area > "Advanced Options" button > "Servers" area > Socks and enter 127.0 .0.1 with the port you have chosen when entering sshthat server.
