Overview
Tunneling over SSH provides a means where a local computer can open one or more connections over a secure encrypted channel to a remote computer system located somewhere else and from the remote computer a connection can be opened to another location. This process can be used to secure network traffic, bypass restrictions placed on a local network firewall, or establish a secure path into a private network that sits behind a firewall.
Ssh Tunnel Mac Os
Mac OS features a built-in SSH client called Terminal which allows you to quickly and easily connect to a server. In this article, we'll outline how to SSH to a server using the Terminal program on OS X Mac. SSH utilizes TCP port 22 by default, although this can be changed to a non-standard port.
- What I want to do is ssh from the Linux box at school to the Mac at home, pass telnet (not ssh, no need to encrypt twice) back form Mac to Linux, and pass X11 connections from Linux x clients to the Mac x server, all over the same ssh connection (or two parallel ones would be fine, just not one inside the other).
- SSH Tunnlr is an easy way to set up SSH tunnels to other computers and servers. With an SSH tunnel you are able to make certain applications, or even the whole system, connect to the internet going first through another computer, allowing you to connect to your workplace, watching content restricted in your country, etc.
- SSH Tunnel Client 3.0 Description: SSH Tunnel Client allows to connect to different SSH-Servers. With the SSH Tunnel Client it is possible to connect each TCP/IP Service over a secure SSH-Tunnel. Supports local and remote forwarding with SSH1 and SSH2. SSH Tunnel Client 3.0 Free Download.
These instructions are specific to MacOS. In this knowledge base article, the remote server is a Linux system running Ubuntu Linux, however the same steps should work for a variety of *nix based systems.
An SSH tunnel must be specified at the localhost based on a particular protocol. In general, the best solution is to identify the application you want to tunnel, and use corresponding ports that exist above the priviledged ports range (https://www.w3.org/Daemon/User/Installation/PrivilegedPorts.html).
The example below is specific to the Chrome and Safari web browser. Additional settings and clients can be requested by submitting a new ticket or positing comments to this article.
WARNING
- SSH tunnelling is not a soluton that provides a fast connection. Network congestion and the process of encrypting and decrypting the connection (usually in software), will slow down the access speed.
- Some instructions, such as those specific to Safari, will remain in effect until disabled, i.e., the SSH tunnel will remain in effect until you undo the settings for the SSH tunnel.
Launch an SSH tunnel
To begin, you must initiate an SSH tunnel. Open the MacOS Terminal and connect to your remote server via SSH with the following flags:
Terminal Ssh Mac
ssh -D 8080 -N [email protected]

This will open port 8080 on your local system so any traffic to 8080 will be securely tunneled through to server remote computer at remotecomputer.eoas.ubc.ca.
Configure the Chrome web browser
The Chrome web browser from Google can leverage the local proxy as a socks5 proxy. To open a secure web browser, use the following command:
chrome --proxy-server='socks5://127.0.0.1:8080' --host-resolver-rules='MAP * 0.0.0.0 , EXCLUDE localhost'
The new Chrome browser will direct browsing traffice through the encrypted tunnel to the remote computer system where it will access the Internet.
