- You want to connect to more than one service of particular type
and too cheap to buy Professional version of AlmostVPN.
- You have been using tunnels for ages and have a bunch of things pre-configured to use them, and too lazy/busy to change anything.
Anatomy of Tunnels Manager View
To configure POTs you have to use Tunnels Manager View
To add new tunnel click
button. Once you added new tunnel you will have a
chance to enter additional information. As you know by now, tunnels
could be established in two directions. Most often you will use tunnels
that carry information from local host to some host behind SSH
gateway (when you are using ssh from command line, this kind of tunnels
defined with "-L <from
port>:<host name>:<to port>" option). Sometimes you will
need tunnels that carry data in opposite direction: from SSH gateway to
some host on your side of the tunnel ("-R
<from port>:<host name>:<to port>" from command
line). If it is still confusing for you look at Step
by Step instructions below.Step by Step
We need to discuss two different setups, one for each kind of tunnels. Let us start with -L type of tunnel.
What we are trying to achieve is to
create a tunnel, which will connect port 60110 on latte (your localhost) to port 110
on slidingpenguin. This
is how we can do it:
Next, let us talk about -R type of tunnels.
Now we want to create tunnel between
port 60080 on jumpingrodent
and port 80 on expresso. This
is what we have to do to accomplish this task:
