Secure tunnel

I was setting up a secure connection last night. We have macs at work so I was just able to “ssh” into my servers.
At home I am running windows, so I had to use cywin run SSH. I installed another package that wraps up all the needed cygwin libraries, copSSH

You can also set up the secure tunnel via Putty

The one issue that I had was that after I set up the tunnel, I had to change my browser’s proxy setting.  You are biding to a local port on your machine that is then forwarded over the secure tunnel to the destination machine.  The requests are proxied over the secure channel.
