SSH tunnel is an encrypted tunnel created through an SSH protocol. SSH Tunnel will be used to transfer unencrypted data over a network through an encrypted channel. If your service provider or some organization has blocked certain sites using their proxy filter you can bypass them with a SOCKS 5 proxy tunnel. In general, SOCKS is a protocol that establishes a TCP connection and exchanges network packets between a client and a server through a proxy server. If you can connect to an external SSH server, you can create an SSH tunnel to forward a port on your local machine to a port in the other machine which will be the other end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to set up an SSH tunnel with different types of port forwarding. There are three types of port forwarding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Local port forwarding<\/strong> \u2013 With local port forwarding we can forward a port from our local machine to the server machine. The SSH client will listen for connections on a configured port and when it receives a connection it will create a tunnel to the SSH server.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote port forwarding\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Remote port forwarding works opposite from the local port forwarding. It will forward the traffic coming to a port on our server to our local computer machine and it will send back to a destination.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dynamic port forwarding\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Dynamic port forwarding is a complex method of creating an SSH Tunnel, traversing a firewall or NAT through the use of a firewall. Communication can be established across a range of ports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this tutorial, we will create an SSH Tunnel using Putty and Firefox with Local port forwarding.<\/p>\n<p>This setup is also useful if you are browsing the Internet via an unsecured network and you want to make your connection secure.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Pre-Requisites\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Pre-Requisites:<\/h2>\n<p>To complete this tutorial, we\u00a0will have to download two\u00a0pieces of software Putty and\u00a0Firefox Web Browser on our local machine:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Putty SSH Client (<a title=\"putty\" href=\"https:\/\/www.putty.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">download<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Firefox Web Browser (<a title=\"firefox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">download<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Linux-based virtual server with full SSH root access or a user with sudo privileges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Putty-Configuration\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Putty Configuration<\/h2>\n<p>1.

On the left side we need to click on <strong>SSH<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Tunnels<\/strong>, add the source port number between 1025-65536.
