#24 SSH Tunneling (aka port forwarding)
SSH is a great tool and allows for more than just logging into a remote machine. SSH allows you to forward a port so TCP/IP traffic can travel safelythrough SSH.
Not only is this secure, but it allows you to do many things - like get around firewalls. In this episode, we'll look at how to tunnel our web traffic (port 80) over SSH to a remote server. Keep in mind that the method I use is not 100% secure - check this resource for how to tunnel DNS lookups with FireFox as well.
