New Tutorial: SSH Tunneling

Post by jason »

The concept of SSH tunneling, and why it's so useful, escaped me for the longest time. This tutorial is more or less what I discovered. Hopefully, it will do two things: provide you with the information necessary to start using and exploring how SSH tunneling can help you in your daily work, and also allow me to refer back to my notes next time I want to do something but complete forget.

A note about this tutorial. I am a Linux user, thus this article will revolve around setting up SSH tunnels on Linux. However, SSH tunnels can be used on Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows as well. Hopefully, someone will comment on this, and let us know how it's done. Because of the nature of Mac OSX, I would imagine that this tutorial would work on that platform as well.

On my windows machines, I use OpenSSH's windows binaries. You can get the server and client, which behave exactly as their linux counterparts.

I use it to get between my work machines and home machines over the internet, forwarding RDP (or HTTP proxy traffic) over the connection. Perfectly simple :)
