If you don’t have an ssh server available to you, or your upload speed isn’t up to it, then you may be able to google a cheap or free UK-based VPN or HTTP proxy service which will similarly route all your traffic through the UK. Google up “putty dynamic tunnel socks” and you should get most of the way there.

(Unfortunately itvplayer at least doesn’t appear to do much buffering, so you can’t just pause it for a bit to let it load up the content you’ll have to put up with the stuttering.)įor Windows users: you can probably achieve the same thing with PuTTY. UK residential ADSL broadband tends to have rubbish up speed (fibre ought to be ok), so you may have trouble with playback.

One caveat – your download speed will be capped at the upload speed of the remote server, since it is in effect uploading the itvplayer content to you. That’s it – Safari supports the SOCKS protocol and will send its traffic over the ssh connection.

enable the SOCKS proxy, using localhost as the server and 12345 as the port (see screenshot).

in Safari, in Preferences > Advanced > Proxies, click the button to change settings (this opens the proxies pane of the Network system preferences panel for your current network interface).

in a terminal window, run: ssh -D 12345 your-uk-server.

And it turns out it does indeed, as outlined in this blog post at. If anyone knows whether haproxy can do simple old-school web proxying, I’d appreciate a note in the comments)Īfter an hour or so of fruitless googling and experimentation I thought perhaps trusty old ssh might offer something in this area, given that I use it for all other tunneling jobs. (haproxy is mainly used for load balancing.

These days I’d use haproxy as a lightweight proxy, but for the life of me I couldn’t work out how to make it forward requests to arbitrary destination servers rather than a pre-configured set.

This would mask my foreign IP address, making traffic to itvplayer appear to originate in the UK. So the plan was to set up such a proxy on my home server back in the UK, then point Safari on my laptop at it. Back in the day, we used a squid proxy in the office all browsers were set up to proxy through the squid server, which forwarded HTTP requests to the outside world and funnelled the responses back to the browser. My first thought was to use an HTTP proxy running on my server in Blighty. (It seems the BBC iPlayer does the same.) However, this does some geolocation to determine where you are, and refuses to play if it detects you’re outside the UK. Last year we watched it on, but that requires you to watch it live at the time of broadcast, and this year we couldn’t.įortunately, it was still available for viewing via itv’s online catch-up service, itvplayer. However, the annual Christmas special poses a bit of a conundrum. As they live abroad, I just take along the DVDs and all is well. If you have a server you can ssh to in the UK, you can use it to bypass the region restrictions imposed by itvplayer and BBC iPlayer.Ĭhristmas generally means (amongst other things, you understand) lounging around watching Downton Abbey with my parents.

While each organization may have different management suites in place, Apple Remote Desktop, DeployStudio tasks, OS X Server custom configurations, or traditional scripts will all equally get the job done and secure access to SSH.Using ssh on a Mac to watch Downton Abbey on itvplayer whilst abroad Since this is a command to be executed remotely, it requires some way to be executed or kicked off in order for it to process on multiple computers. In the example below, the admin group has been granted SSH access.ĭseditgroup -o edit -a admin -t group _ssh Fortunately, this too can be changed by creating an SSH access group, where members will be provided exclusive authorization to remotely access your Mac.ĭseditgroup -o create -q _ssh Add users (or groups) to the SSH access groupīy running this command, users and/or groups that are to be granted SSH access to machines will be allowed to do so, while all other users will be expressly denied access to connect or login remotely. However, if anyone can access your computer remotely, how secure is it? Not very, I'm afraid. With SSH enabled, secure access is provided to the Mac. Systemsetup -setremotelogin on Creating an SSH access group Once completed, the SSH service will be enabled for all users on that authenticate on that Mac. To enable SSH, enter the command below into Terminal.app, and press Enter to execute it.

On the plus side, there is a command that can be executed to turn on the SSH service, and another couple of commands can optionally configure the service and secure it so that only those requiring secure access will be authorized to do so.
