So, here's the deal... I have Pandora One account, and using desktop app (which is written in Adobe Flex) to listen to my stations. Now, all is great, except streaming protocols are getting blocked at my workplace. Mobile is not an option either, with 2GB limit on monthly traffic...
Encrypted tunnels, however, are not going to be blocked any time soon =) So I was wondering if there is any way of having Pandora One go through a tunnel (e.g. to my hosting server, or home desktop) and out to HTTP from there.
Not sure where to start... If I create a tunnel using Putty - I'll need to specify a proxy. But there is no option for that in the app.
EDIT: is there a way to specify proxy for only this app (e.g. like export session environment variable that will be picked up?) I think it uses default IE settings for this, so if there would be a way to trick the app by substituting these settings - that'll work...
OS is Win 7 x64 (if that makes any difference)...
I think you mean port 443. Back when I did Pandora I would use iptables to redirect the port over an ssh tunnel. That's tougher to do in Windows unless you have the advanced firewall (usually found in Windows 2008 server). I would be surprised if the most recent versions of Pandora don't offer a proxy setting. – CR. – 2012-07-08T20:16:25.307
Thanks - fixed the type-o. Which port did you redirect, as I thought Pandora runs streams http on port 80? – AndyCNX – 2012-07-09T08:09:37.213
