Using "SSH Proxy" Feature in ZIVPN

What is SSH through HTTP Proxy?

Using SSH through an HTTP proxy (such as ISP or Squid) allows you to route your SSH traffic through a proxy server, providing an additional layer of privacy and security. This method helps in bypassing network restrictions and disguising your traffic as regular HTTP requests, which can be beneficial in restrictive or monitored environments.

Benefits of SSH through HTTP Proxy

• Hides your SSH traffic within regular HTTP traffic.
• Bypasses network restrictions and firewalls.
• Provides an additional layer of privacy and security.

Using "SSH Proxy" Feature in ZIVPN

SSH through an HTTP proxy can be configured in ZIVPN using the following methods:

1. In-App Free SSH Account

Follow these steps to use SSH through an HTTP proxy directly from the ZIVPN app:

• Access the Server List: Double-click on the field in the ZIVPN app's main interface where "user:pass@ip:port" hints are shown. A dropdown server list will appear.
• Watch an Ad: Select the server location you want to access and watch the ad. You will receive a free SSH account with 1-day validity. This account supports multiple tunneling methods, including SSH, SlowDNS, Stunnel, and WebSocket Tunnel.
• Server Locations: To get an account for a different server location, watch an ad for that specific location.
• Access Proxy Settings: Open the ZIVPN app and navigate to the Payload menu.
• Configure Proxy: Input the HTTP proxy server details (such as ISP or Squid) in the 'Remote Proxy' field within the Payload menu.
• Connect: Use the "SSH Proxy" checkbox/feature to connect through the configured HTTP proxy. The app will handle the necessary configurations for you.

2. Create an SSH Account Through Any Provider

If you prefer, you can create an SSH account through any SSH provider. Here’s how:

• Account Creation: Create an SSH account from any SSH provider.
• Configure in ZIVPN: Enter the account information in the ZIVPN app's SSH authentication text field using the "user:pass@ip:port" format and HTTP proxy server details (ISP/Squid) in the 'Remote Proxy' field within the Payload menu.
