Access MathSciNet resources outside IM

All employees (students) who have an active shell account on herze (chaos) can also use MathSciNet (Mathematical Reviews) resources from their home computers. The same applies to students who have accounts in chaos. How do I do this? (Version for students in parentheses)

Just in your browser on your home computer set the proxy server as on our network. When you select any web address, a dialog box appears, you must enter a login and password as to hery (chaos):

 

You can also configure a tunneled connection: 
For Windows users
For Linux users

For Windows users:

Run putty.exe and add a new ssh session with tunnel:

  1. select the Session tab
  2. type in the field 'Host Name (or IP address)' 156.17.86.1 (156.17.86.21)
  3. in the 'Saved Session' field, e.g. hera-tunnel (chaos-tunnel)
  4. click 'Save'

    set tunnel

  5. we select the Connection->SSH->Tunnels tab
  6. type in the field 'Source port' 8080 and in the field 'Destination' 156.17.86.1:8080 (156.17.86.21:8080)
  7. click 'Add'

    set tunnel

  8. we return to the Session tab and save the hera-tunnel session (chaos-tunnel) once again

     

When choosing a newly created session, you must log in to herze (chaos). After logging in we get a tunnel localhost:8080 -> hera:8080 (chaos:8080).

Finally, you need to configure your browser. As a proxy server, type the local end of the tunnel (that is, localhost port 8080):

set tunnel

Suggestion: To avoid setting a proxy every time you want to use Reviews, you can install an additional (different) browser "reviews only".

For Linux users:

You must log in to herze:

 ssh -L 8080:156.17.86.7:3128 login_z_hery@156.17.86.1

and then configure the browser as above (localhost port 8080).

 

Second way: log in to herze:

ssh -D 1234 -Nf 156.17.86.1

Or

ssh -D 1234 -Nf login_z_hery@156.17.86.1

if on your home computer we have a different login name other than on herze.
Then, in the browser, you must configure the proxy:

set tunnel
