==Tunneling==
You can tunnel single ports or run a socks proxy with SSH. Google for SSH forwarding or see the howto below.
=== Example ===
====Socks proxy====
This will open a Socks proxy on port 6969. Configure your applications to proxy through localhost:6969 to use the tunnel.
ssh -D 6969 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org
====Tunnel single port====This opens a tunnel to milton.vtluug.org which is redirected through acidburn. ssh -L 6969:milton.vtluug.org:22 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.orgnow, on your machine, open a new shell, and run: ssh localhost -p 6969 -l wadsworthto ssh into milton as wadsworth. ==See Also==
