Re: Tunnel any protocol over any protocol?

[Brad Edmondson <brad.edmondson () tufts edu>]

Chip-
I often use the SOCKS proxy option in OpenSSH server+client.  You run an 
openssh server on your secure network, and then ssh to it with the 
switch -D 4444 (or any other port number >1024) to create a SOCKS proxy 
on your localhost to your ssh server on port 4444.  This SSL's 
everything sent using the SOCKS tunnel, and many popular applications 
can use a SOCKS proxy (Firefox, Thunderbird, IE, etc.).

For non-SOCKS-aware applications, you can achieve similar results with 
SSH port forwarding.
