HTTPS Tunneling

All our OpenVPN and SSH services run on TCP port 443 since this port is open in all networks and is never blocked. However, if due to ISP restrictions such as OpenVPN protocol blocking/Deep Packet Inspection, you are unable to use our OpenVPN or SSH services, you can use our HTTPS tunneling solution using only a web browser. Essentially, your traffic is wrapped in HTTPS at the client. Our SSL VPN server receives the HTTPS packets and redirects incoming TCP port 443 traffic to the remote SSH server for tunneling. This tunneling solution works just like a VPN (virtual private network), but is portable, so you can use it on any computer without having to install and configure any software.

To use our HTTPS tunneling solution,you simply use your browser to login to the HTTPS tunneling portal and once there, you can start the SSH tunneling to create a SSH Socks 5 proxy which you can then configure on your browser or OpenVPN client GUI. This SSL tunneling protocol can be used in Windows, MAC and Linux and it is extremely useful for users who are behind strong firewalls/proxy/DPI devices which only allows TCP port 80 and 443 connections or blocks SSH/OpenVPN traffic.

The use of SSL over TCP port 443 (HTTPS) allows this tunneling protocol to pass through virtually all firewalls/Deep Packet Inspection devices and proxy servers. HTTPS tunneling is mainly intended for users who cannot connect directly to any SSH or OpenVPN server regardless of the port used as a result of SSH/OpenVPN traffic filtering and blocking by strong firewalls or Deep Packet Inspection devices using protocol handshake filtering. The aim of the service is to make your traffic indistinguishable from real SSL traffic.

The following 5 steps are required to use our HTTPS Tunneling solution:
1. Signup for any of our package which includes the HTTPS tunneling access
2. After completing your signup, you will receive in your welcome email the HTTPS tunneling URLs
3. Login to the HTTPS Tunneling URL using your member username and password
4. On the HTTPS Panel, click on any server of your choice to initiate the SSH tunnel and create the SSH Socks 5 proxy
5. After the SSH Socks 5 is created, proceed to configure your browser ,applications or OpenVPN client GUI to use the Socks 5 proxy (localhost, port 8080)
Note: To prevent your browser from attempting to use local/ISP DNS servers to resolve websites (DNS Leaks), we strongely recommend that you use Maxthon browser.

Benefits of HTTPS Tunneling

Stealth Tunneling: All traffic is nicely hidden in SSL/HTTPS traffic which makes it very hard to block and is completely indistinguishable from real HTTPS traffic

Portable and Pre-configured SSH Tunneling using Putty: For windows users, the HTTPS tunneling method allows you to setup your SSH tunnel using only a Java enabled web browser. You do not need to manually download and configure the Putty client for our SSH servers. Putty is automatically launched and pre-configured for each SSH server on your system from the remote server. This allows you to quickly and effortlessly setup your SSH tunnel on any computer any where such as public or shared computers

Bypass ISP Protocol Based Speed Throttling: Some ISPs are capable of throttling your download speed based on certain protocol traffic filtering such as P2P, IM, IRC, SSH, Bittorrent etc. By encapsulating your traffic over HTTPS, you will be able to bypass certain protocol based speed throttling.
