Home Tips And Tricks Accessing Websites Via Another Country Internet Connection

Accessing Websites Via Another Country Internet Connection

I usually check my websites to see what visitors from other countries (ex: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, etc) will see especial on how my advertising banners are displayed. Also, in my country, some social sites (Facebook) are blocked by some reason so I have to utilize the internet connections from my oversea servers to access.

I’m using Tunnelier whenever I want to do that. Basically, it tunnels all my web access through a remote server. Therefore, you need to have access to a SSH server. If you want to act an US visitor, the server should be located in US. The same for United Kingdom, Canada,etc.

Dynamic tunneling via integrated proxy supporting SOCKS4, SOCKS4A, SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT proxy tunneling protocols. Configure your applications to connect to target hosts through Tunnelier’s proxy, and no manual tunneling rules need be configured.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you:

  • 1. Set up SOCKS/HTTP Proxy Forwarding in Tunnelier
  • 2. Set up Proxy server (SOCKS Host & Port) in Firefox
  • 3. Set up Proxy server (SOCKS Host & Port) in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome

1. Setting up SOCKS/HTTP Proxy Forwarding in Tunnelier

  • 1. You need to download and install Tunnelier. It’s available for FREE download via: http://www.bitvise.com/download-area
  • 2. After download & install Tunnelier, let’s run it and enter your SSH server log in detail in Login tab.

    Note: let’s select the password option in the Initial method.

  • 3. Go to Services tab and select Enabled check box in SOCKS / HTTP Proxy Forwarding panel

    Noted: I assume that you keep the current setting for Listen Interface (127.0.0.1) and Listen Port (1080). We need these information for later use.

  • 4. Click Login button to see if your connection is established.

2. Setting up dynamic tunneling (SOCKS Host) in Firefox

  • 1. Open Firefox, go to Tools => Advanced => Network => Settings…

  • 2. In the Connection Settings box, select Manual proxy configuration then enter the SOCKS Host (127.0.0.1) and Port (1080) which were set in the previous step. Remember?

  • 3. Click OK & OK button

3. Setting up dynamic tunneling (SOCKS Host) in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome

As Google Chrome is using the same proxy configuration with the IE, so we just need to make changes on IE then Google Chrome will follow.

  • 1. Open Internet Options: go to Tools => Internet options in IE or from Start menu => Control Panel => Internet Options
  • 2. Go to Connections tab then click on LAN settings button

  • 4. In Proxy Settings, type Socks host (127.0.0.1) and Port (1080) as was mentioned above

Wow, we finished a great job with a lot of steps :). Now you can access or check websites through your remote server. To do a quick test, you should check your current online IP address to see where are you now, another online tool for you: http://rapid-tools.net/

And do not forget to log out and exit the Tunnelier and reset your Proxy setting (use no proxy) when you’re done or your browser will stop working.
