Bypass Palo Alto company firewall (alien.top)

Hello,

My company is using a palo alto firewall which replaces the SSL certificate for every HTTPS site by a company generated one. I used to bypass internet filtering by creating a SSH tunnel with Putty (I am local admin and can run Putty on my laptop) and run it on port 443. Then add a socks proxy in my browser setting and I was done. No more SSL filtering and I could access any website.

But now the firewall is blocking this as well. SSH to port 443 is not working anymore.

I tried this: https://hacktr.org/blog/2020/01/01/ssh-tunneling-over-https/ but it didn't work either.

I also tried this: https://mariobrandt.de/archives/technik/ssh-tunnel-bypassing-transparent-proxy-using-apache-170/

But no go as well.

This has to be possible some way, by proxying apache to SSH using a letsencrypt cert. I tried to add a LE cert but the problem is when apache proxies to SSH it changes to IP ad the firewall blocks that step.

Any idea how to solve this?

OP... as an admin... you are the worst.... but since you're not my user 🤣 you'll probably have better luck tunnelling out on 53 masquerading as DNS with something like iodine.

Btw, If I caught you doing this, because I block outbound DNS, I'd try to get you fired.
