SSH Port Forwarding (Local/Remote)
Master local and remote port forwarding to securely access internal services or expose local services to a remote network.
Secure Tunnels with SSH
SSH isn't just for logging in! It can create secure "tunnels" to forward network traffic.
This technique, called port forwarding, lets you access services that are normally unreachable or insecure.
Think of it as setting up a private, encrypted bridge between different network ports.
Why Use Port Forwarding?
Port forwarding is super useful for developers and sysadmins:
- Access internal services: Reach a database or web UI on a private network from your local machine.
- Expose local services: Share a local development server with others on a remote network.
- Bypass firewalls: Securely connect to services behind restrictive firewalls.
