Re: Socks Tunnel over SSH

[Arnold Bush <arnoldwbush () gmail com>]

Thank you all for your replies.
So, SSH tunnels aren't encrypted? Or are they not using strong enough
encryption?
Changing service providers wouldn't help because most service
providers are connected through the incumbent which is the source of
most restrictions.
I have considered Tor. However, they do not encourage using it for P2P
downloads. Tor is run by volunteers and not a profit making company. I
feel that it wouldn't be nice to violate a volunteer's request for
appropriate use.
I'll think about the VPN idea, though, unless anyone has a different suggestion.

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
