copied!<h2>How can I configure TortoiseSVN to connect to a SVN server behind a corporate firewall from home?</h2> <p>This is the question I'm having a hard time finding an answer to. Here's what I <strong>DON'T</strong> have:</p> <ol> <li><em>Official</em> VPN access to the corporate intranet.</li> <li>Control over the SVN server.</li> <li>Any control over the intranet.</li> <li>Cooperation from the IT department.</li> </ol> <p>Here's what I <strong>DO</strong> have:</p> <ol> <li>Full control over my computer at my desk at the office.</li> <li>Willpower</li> </ol> <p>This is a shot at what I tried, and seem to be unsuccessful at (names of people and places and machines have been changed to protect the innocent):</p> <p><a href="http://i48.tinypic.com/or1a3b.png" rel="noreferrer">Sweet network diagram of fail http://i48.tinypic.com/or1a3b.png</a></p> <ol> <li>I am using <a href="http://www.wippien.com/" rel="noreferrer">Wippien</a> to set up a zero configuration VPN from my home computer (NG-ATHOME) to my work computer at my desk. This works, I have total network access to and from both machines.</li> <li>I have <a href="http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">OpenSSH for Windows</a> running on NG-WORKBOX.</li> <li>I have PuTTY on NG-ATHOME connecting to NG-WORKBOX to tunnel dynamically over port 1080. The SOCKS proxy is working, as I can verify that with any web browser. I can confidently say that this is not the problem in the scenario.</li> <li>I am using TortoiseSVN on NG-ATHOME configured to use a proxy on 127.0.0.1:1080. When I try to hit "svn://NG-SOURCE/PonyRepository", I get <em>error: cannot connect to host</em>. I can ping NG-SOURCE fine.</li> </ol> <p>Why doesn't SVN work?</p> <p>Hmm, I have a suspicion that SVN does not like SOCKS. Anyone have a suggestion?</p>
