# Metasploit Tunneling

The autoroute module creates a reverse tunnel and allows us to direct network traffic into the appropriate subnet.

{% code title="@multihandler shell session" %}

```
background
use multi/manage/autoroute
set session 1 (the meterpreter shell session)
exploit

use auxiliary/server/socks_proxy
set srvhost 127.0.0.1
exploit -j

sudo bash -c 'echo "socks5 127.0.0.1 1080" >> /etc/proxychains4.conf'
```

{% endcode %}

We can configure to force TCP traffic through the proxy by adding the SOCKS4 proxy IP and port to the config file.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
sudo bash -c 'echo "socks4 127.0.0.1 1080" >> /etc/proxychains.conf'
```

{% endcode %}

```
proxychains rdesktop 192.168.120.10
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Proxychains can be used with many other applications. For example, we can use Nmap to conduct an internal network scan or Firefox to browse internal web sites.
{% endhint %}
