SUBROUTINES/METHODS¶

SETTING UP SOCKS SERVERS USING SSH¶

You can setup a simple SOCKS proxy with ssh <https://man.openbsd.org/ssh>, using the -D option <https://man.openbsd.org/ssh#D>. If you setup such a server with the following command

  ssh -ND localhost:8080 user@Remote.Proxy.Server

and then connect to it like so;

  my $firefox = Firefox::Marionette->new(
                  proxy => Firefox::Marionette::Proxy->new(socks => 'localhost:8080')
                     )->go('https://Target.Web.Site');

the following network diagram describes what will happen

     ------------          ----------         ----------
     | Firefox  |  SSH     | Remote |  HTTPS  | Target |
     | & Perl   |--------->| Proxy  |-------->| Web    |
     | run here |          | Server |         | Site   |
