Putty on Airtel Live (GPRS)

Many of you already knew about putty. If dont , putty is very nice SSH/Telnet/Rlogin client for windows as well as *nix operating systems. It also features raw socket connection and serial port communication. Here I shows how to use it completely free on Airtel Live GPRS profile ( APN: airtelfun.com) .

Don't have putty with you get it from here
The trick works through the live proxy server. You need to open up putty , on the side bar expand connection , then click on the proxy menu .
  1. Choose proxy type as HTTP
  2. Give '100.1.200.99' ( Live proxy ) as your proxy host name
  3. Give '8080' as proxy port
Screenshot of my putty config as shown below




If you are having airtel ( live) gprs only and no other connection then you can save the proxy settings on the default so we dont have enter every time we need to connect
  1. Goto 'Connection' in left panel and give the proxy settings as given above
  2. Come back to 'Session' panel
  3. Give a name to your settings in the 'saved session' textbox and click save
  4. Next time wen u open up putty click on the saved sessions and click load
  5. Thats its!!!

Don't have a Shell account ???? Don't worry there are lot of fun shells available in internet
Try telnet to freeshell.org and register a new account
  • open up putty in the 'sessions' settings type 'freeshell.org' as hostname
  • select telnet as connection type (note :- port automatically change to 23)
  • now click 'open' to start session and instructions will be given to open up a new account..
