How to avoid using the VPN?
Mosof mу friends and colleagues hide their IP address by encoding the traffic from ISP. Sometimes they even compress a data with the help of VPN service. Some of them buy a new ISP access point that cannot guarantee the security either. Others run the service on their own PCs examining its details or just leave this task for server’s administrator.
VPN minuses in my opinion:
- It is workable for a couple of software only (3-4 actually)
- VPN tunnel use all Internet traffic (all Internet software are closed if VPN is disconnected with Internet)
- Additional software installation is required.
So, if you wish to secure your Internet connections you only need a little freeware utility software MyEntunnel and an account with SSH access to your (or not your) server. Install this utility and do some software settings: host name, login and password, tick off “Enable Dynamic SOCKS”. Other fields you may input as you wish. I recommend you to tick off “Enable Compression” if you have slow channel or you’d like to economize the traffic.
You may set up any IM, browser or other software to work through this proxy. The software will work through encoded, compressed connection with a server without keeping logs, without proxies and VPNs.
If your software does not support SOCKS5 – you have to install an additional local interlayer protocol - > SOCKS. E.g. CCProxy (free for 3 users maximum). Input localhost: 7070 in "Options" - > "Advanced" - > "Cascading Proxy". Set up your software to CCProxy (more information about ports you may find in “Options” - > “Configuration”)
In addition, I want to say that MyEntunnel is just GUI for plink utility (a command-line interface to the PuTTY back ends) and SOCKS5 runs through one of opportunities of OpenSSH (ad hoc SOCKS proxy server). I like SSH!

Save the settings, and then connect. That's it! Port 7070 – is a default port (you can input any port). On the screenshot we can see SOCKS5 proxy server that is tunneled through SSH to your server.
