Help with SSH tunnel

[c4rm0]

I am having problems setting up a SSH tunnel from my works or any other PC not on my network to my home PC which is running openssh for windows as the SSH server and i am completley stumped. I want to use a SSH tunnel so i can surf the web at work Anonymously

I have installed OpenSSH for windows + cygwin and copied the cygwin1.dll file to the openssh folder and created the username + password files with the mkgroup + mkpasswd commands and edited the sshd_config file to use port 443 i successfully started the opensshd service by typing in net start opensshd but when i try to use putty i cant connect i get the error message Network error "connection refused"

my batch file looks like this

putty -D 8080 -P 443 -ssh 213.myaddress.do1.com obviously thats not my ip

things i have tried .....

Restarting the opensshd service

making sure the firewall was off on all machines stopped the service

Port 443 is 100% forwarded on my router i have even ran multple port checks and they all say port 443 is open

Added the PC running the SSH server into DMZ

Disabled all AV

Uninstalled IIS ? read somewhere it takes port 443 /80 ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

hi ncjok thanks for the your reply helps quite a bit

Im not sure but i think IIS has done something to the machine running the SSH server when i do a netstat its showing the IP 0.0.0.0.0 is using Port 443 i have also tried port 22 and get same error

I have tried non work machines on a totally different network to my home PC and get same error so i dodnt think its my company's Firewall rules

I started from scratch on a Windows XP Virtual machine and seemed to have got it working to a extent if i type 127.0.0.1 port 22 into putty on the PC that the SSH server is installed on it now asks me for a username and password which mean that the SSH server is listening and the port is opened ?

I have just tested it from a External PC /network and it works fine using my Wan IP / port 22 Woooohoooooo Finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but if i change the port number to 443 in the sshd_config file /open port 443 in router it doesnt work for some reason not even 127.0.0.1 from the pc that the SSH server is running on oh well guess i will have to use port 22
