its not often that I'm at a web terminal where I cant use a thumb drive to access my own network but the trick is I would have to be carrying this physical hardware on me OR configure the persons web browser both are things that I'm trying to avoid.<div>
<br></div><div>Its generally a best case scenario of my worst case scenario. A reverse proxy sounds like it might be a good way to go as long as I can find a way to authenticate before being able to use it.</div><div><br>
</div><div>I do definitely appreciate the advice for ssh tunneling though it will be good for archival purposes. Im not really looking for full vpn solutions as I can already basically ssh in if I need something higher function but this is more for just mild maintenance and trivial work. Basically I still want the functionality of the web apps from the WWW side of things just less insecure.<br>

I've done this by carrying a usb key with my favourite stuff.<br>
(e.g. ssh + cygwin1.dll + ssh_config, in a directory, or putty, plus whatever other useful stuff I can think of that fits.) Means I don't have to reboot their system.<br>
<br>
You could also carry a livecd or a liveusb key - you reboot their system, but it never touches their hard drive. (And if you partition your key, and perhaps even if not, you can put this stuff on one side, and the above stuff on the other.)<br>
<br>
I've used this to ssh home then tunnel through it to my systems with vnc. [Doing some of what John's message suggests, but he says it better.] e.g. From Conestoga college, library, etc.<br>
<br>
If you have a PDA, don't know if there's something in there you might find useful. e.g. You could ssh home, just not sure you'd want to from a pda. But could be useful for a quick log in to tail a log file or see if someone's dropped a file you were waiting for. Tethering?<br>

I'm trying to set up something that is computer agnostic so that I dont have<br>
to change people's systems much in order to access my own network when im<br>
without my laptop.<br>
