ssh tunnel putty to ubuntu server

Thanks for looking at my question. I'm trying to setup an ssh tunnel but I keep running into issues that are unknown to me.

So I have a Ubuntu server configured. I can ssh to if from outside my network with no issues. This means I have ssh setup ok and that I have port 22 forwarded to this server.

I've found many write ups on ssh forwarding through putty and it seems rather simple. So for easy testing to see if this was working I went to a friends house next door and I created and saved a profile to my Remote IP over ssh (port 22) in PuTTY. In the tunnel section I configured the source port as port 8088. I then configured the destination IP as the remote WAN address where my Ubuntu server is located and set that port to 8088. I opned the connection and logged into my server.

Then I configured his Firefox browser proxy settings. I set the HTTP proxy to IP 127.0.0.1 port 8088 and checked the box label "use the proxy server for all protocols"

Also before I forget to mention on my remote router I forwarded all tcp/udp for port 8088 to my ssh server whether I need it or no, not sure.

So when I open up firefox, nothing happens. It just sits there and thinks. Any help on this would be appreciated.Start Free Trial
