Secure remote access to a Mac from Windows
Authored by: cwasmer on Oct 19, '07 11:20:38AM

I realize this is a bit old, but it appears not too much has changed since this was posted and I am looking for the way to use the http proxy to get out of the office and tap my home network. Whenever I try, I get hung up for five minutes, then putty gives up. My office has a proxy configuration script, but I'm fairly certain I've id'd the proxy server to which my connections are directed. I've tried it as an HTTP proxy and as a Socks5 proxy - either way it sits there for 5 minutes, then aborts its attempts, having heard nothing from the proxy server. Other proxy servers listed in the script are rejected promptly with a 403 error - not allowed.

Any ideas?
