NAME
       proxytunnel - program to tunnel a connection through a standard HTTPS
       proxy

SYNOPSIS
       proxytunnel [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       proxytunnel is a program to tunnel any connection through a standard
       HTTPS proxy, circumventing standard HTTP filtering mechanisms. It’s
       mostly used as a backend for OpenSSH’s ProxyCommand, and as a proxy
       backend for Putty. It can also be used for other proxy-traversing
       purposes like proxy bouncing.

OPTIONS
       -i, --inetd
	   Run from inetd (default: off)

       -a, --standalone=port
	   Run as standalone daemon on specified port

       -p, --proxy=host:_port_
	   Use host and port as the local proxy to connect to, if not
	   specified the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, if set, will be used
	   instead

       -r, --remproxy=host:_port_
	   Use host and port as the remote (secondary) proxy to connect to

       -d, --dest=host:_port_
	   Use host and port as the destination for the tunnel, you can also
	   specify them as the argument to the proxytunnel command

       -e, --encrypt
	   SSL encrypt data between local proxy and destination

       -E, --encrypt-proxy
	   SSL encrypt data between client and local proxy

       -X, --encrypt-remproxy
	   SSL encrypt data between local and remote (secondary) proxy

       -W, --wa-bug-29744
	   If SSL is in use (by -e, -E, -X options), stop using it immediately
	   after the CONNECT exchange to workaround apache server bugs. (This
	   might not work on all setups; see
	   /usr/share/doc/proxytunnel/README.Debian.gz for more details.)

       -B, --buggy-encrypt-proxy
	   Equivalent to -E -W. (Provided for backwards compatibility.)

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
       -F, --passfile=filename
	   Use filename for reading username and password for HTTPS proxy
	   authentication, the file uses the same format as .wgetrc and can be
	   shared with wget. Use this option, or environment variables to hide
	   the password from other users

       -P, --proxyauth=username:_password_
	   Use username and password as credentials to authenticate against a
	   local HTTPS proxy, the username and password can also be specified
	   in the PROXYUSER and PROXYPASS environment variables to hide them
	   from other users. If the password is ommited and no PROXYPASS
	   environment variable is set, proxytunnel will prompt for a password

       -R, --remproxyauth=username:_password_
	   Use username and password as credentials to authenticate against a
	   remote (secondary) HTTPS proxy, the username and password can also
	   be specified in the REMPROXYUSER and REMPROXYPASS environment
	   variables to hide them from other users. If the password is ommited
	   and no REMPROXYPASS environment variable is set, proxytunnel will
	   prompt for a password

       -N, --ntlm
	   Use NTLM basd authentication

       -t, --domain=STRING
	   Specify NTLM domain (default: autodetect)

       -H, --header=STRING
	   Add additional HTTP headers to send to proxy

       -x, --proctitle=STRING
	   Use a different process title

MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS
       -v, --verbose
	   Turn on verbosity

       -q, --quiet
	   Suppress messages

       -h, --help
	   Print help and exit

       -V, --version
	   Print version and exit

ARGUMENTS
       host:_port_ is the destination hostname and port number combination

	   Note
	   Specifying the destination as arguments is exactly the same as
	   specifying them using the -d or --dest option.

USAGE
       Depending on your situation you might want to do any of the following
       things:

       ·   Connect through a local proxy to your home system on port 22

	       $ proxytunnel -v -p proxy.company.com:8080 -d system.home.nl:22

       ·   Connect through a local proxy (with authentication) to your home
	   system

	       $ proxytunnel -v -p proxy.company.com:8080 -P username:password -d system.home.nl:22

       ·   Connect through a local proxy (with authentication) hiding your
	   password

	       $ export PROXYPASS=password
	       $ proxytunnel -v -p proxy.company.com:8080 -P username -d system.home.nl:22

       ·   Connect through a local proxy to a remote proxy and bounce to any
	   system

	       $ proxytunnel -v -p proxy.company.com:8080 -r proxy.athome.nl:443 -d system.friend.nl:22

       ·   Connect using SSL through a local proxy to your home system

	       $ proxytunnel -v -E -p proxy.company.com:8080 -d system.home.nl:22

OPENSSH CONFIGURATION
       To use this program with OpenSSH to connect to a host somewhere, create
       a ~/.ssh/config file with the following content:

	   Host system.athome.nl
	       ProxyCommand proxytunnel -p proxy.company.com:8080 -d %h:%p
	       ServerAliveInterval 30

	   Note
	   The ServerAliveInterval directive makes sure that idle connections
	   are not being dropped by intermediate firewalls that remove active
	   sessions aggresively. If you see your connection dropping out, try
	   to lower the value even more.

       To use the dynamic (SOCKS) portforwarding capability of the SSH client,
       you can specify the DynamicForward directive in your ssh_config file
       like:

	   Host system.athome.nl
	       DynamicForward 1080
	       ProxyCommand proxytunnel -p proxy.company.com:8080 -d %h:%p
	       ServerAliveInterval 30

NOTES
	   Important
	   Most HTTPS proxies do not allow access to ports other than HTTPS
	   (tcp/443) and SNEWS (tcp/563). In this case you need to make sure
	   the SSH daemon or remote proxy on the destination system is
	   listening on either tcp/443 or tcp/563 to get through.

ENVIRONMENT
       Proxytunnel can be influenced by setting one of the following
       environment variables:

       HTTP_PROXY
	   If this environment variable is set, proxytunnel will use it as the
	   local proxy if -p or --proxy is not provided

       PROXYUSER
	   If this environment variable is set, proxytunnel will use it as the
	   username for proxy authentication, unless specified using the -P or
	   --proxyauth option

       PROXYPASS
	   If this environment variable is set, proxytunnel will use it as the
	   password for proxy authentication, unless specified using the -P or
	   --proxyauth option

       REMPROXYUSER
	   If this environment variable is set, proxytunnel will use it as the
	   username for remote (secondary) proxy authentication, unless
	   specified using the -R or --remproxyauth option

       REMPROXYPASS
	   If this environment variable is set, proxytunnel will use it as the
	   password for remote (secondary) proxy authentication, unless
	   specified using the -R or --remproxyauth option

       This software is bug-free, at least we’d like to think so. If you do
