SSH Tunneling
SSH Tunneling
SSH tunneling is a method of securely forwarding network traffic over an encrypted SSH connection. This allows users to bypass firewalls, encrypt sensitive data, and access internal resources on a remote network. There are two main types of SSH tunnels:
Local Port Forwarding: Redirects traffic from a local machine to a remote server.
Remote Port Forwarding: Forwards traffic from a remote server back to the local machine.
SSH tunneling is commonly used to create secure, encrypted connections for accessing services on a remote network, such as databases or web servers, that would otherwise be blocked or inaccessible.
