Can't tunnel over ssh: "Firewall policy violation"

I'm unable to tunnel traffic over ssh using -D dynamic forwarding. I believe the relevant options are set in sshd_config (PermitTunnel/AllowTcpForwading), I've restarted the daemon, and iptables is disabled, but I'm still getting this message:

channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: Firewall policy violation

Nothing shows up anywhere in the logs with LogLevel=DEBUG.

There isn't any issue with restarting sshd with active sessions, is there? It looks like it took the new LogLevel okay.

Config:

Re: Can't tunnel over ssh: "Firewall policy violation"

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? SSH socks proxy is a client feature and has nothing to dowith the server setup. PermitTunnel is a completely unrelated option -- see man sshd_config.

For instance, suppose you have a client (C) and a server (S), and want to tunnel all web traffic from C through a ssh tunnel C-S. Then, on the client call

C$ ssh -xND 12345 S.ip &

This will open a tunnel to S without a shell, open port 12345 on localhost, and put ssh process in the bg. Next, in your browser's connections settings point to <user>@localhost.localdomain:12345. It is assumed that you have no control over S.

Re: Can't tunnel over ssh: "Firewall policy violation"

I'm trying to create a SOCKS proxy for Firefox (or whatever) to connect through. The client is on Windows, but Windows Firewall doesn't appear to be blocking it (same behavior if it's disabled) and I don't know what else would be blocking it (i.e. something on the corporate LAN) since it's on localhost.

What ssh software do you use on Win? You have to to configure SOCKS in _client_ not server. AFAIU putty is able to do SOCKS proxy, but I have never tried it.

Re: Can't tunnel over ssh: "Firewall policy violation"

Tried putty and cygwin.

It looks like there's some magic on the gateway that's screwing with SSH, so I might have to go with something like polipo instead.
