Yes, debian includes "htc" "hts" programs in some kind of package(s) --
httptunnel programs... I expect you will find the 'htc' works on windoze
under CYGWIN -- you shuold be able to get the source-code (which can be
saved onto a debian machine using "apt-get source <package name>" for
'htc' and compile it under CYGWIN on windoze somewhere; and then copy the
resulting HTC.EXE along with a copy of CYGWIN1.DLL -- you should be ok
with just those 2 files only (e.g. on a floppy disk)...
You can setup a SOCKS server (or whatever else) on remote linux system --
and this will at least allow TCP based programs that can use SOCKS (or
other programs with the use of something called 'sockscap32'), to use the
socks server via the HTC/HTS tunnel connection...
You will probably want a script on the linux machine that auto-restarts
the "hts" daemon which seems to like closing itself sometimes ;-).
This is nto a particuarly ''safe'' method as there is NO encryption on any
data forwarded over the HttpTunnel or SOCKS -- you might do better to
have something like a linuxbox inside the private-network and run the
'htc' client on that, and SSH from that machine over httptunnel to
remote machine, where you can then forward local ports in *BOTH*
directions using OpenSSH'es port forwarding, but this means logging in
each time etc...
Just thoughts, anyway... Btw -- ?maybe you should be using a different
mailing list, not debian-security?.
