SSH tunneling for fun and profit



Will O'Brien is a little paranoid, but we still love him. He has written up a great step by step post over at Engadget, a little known blog that I read, detailing how to setup SSH tunneling when you are on potentially insecure networks.

Go read it, because you don't want me reading your email (and if you don't SSH tunnel I WILL read your email).

Absolutely brilliant app. Reccommended to anyone who needs tunnels or a VPN, but doesn't want to configure anything.

I'm not paranoid, but I did stay at a holiday inn and read your email last night.

Thanks guys!

One suggestion absent from that article is that if you've got a machine at home you can ssh to it in order to fetch your email (more) securely when you're on a public WiFi connection.
