How does SSH port forwarding work?

Port forwarding via SSH (SSH tunneling) creates a secure connection between a local computer and a remote machine through which services can be relayed. Because the connection is encrypted, SSH tunneling is useful for transmitting information that uses an unencrypted protocol, such as IMAP, VNC, or IRC.

What is SSH tunneling and port forwarding?

SSH tunneling, or SSH port forwarding, is a method of transporting arbitrary data over an encrypted SSH connection. SSH tunnels allow connections made to a local port (that is, to a port on your own desktop) to be forwarded to a remote machine via a secure channel.

Why is HTTP tunneling used?

HTTP tunneling is used to create a network link between two computers in conditions of restricted network connectivity including firewalls, NATs and ACLs, among other restrictions. Tunneling can also allow communication using a protocol that normally wouldn’t be supported on the restricted network.

Is it safe to port forward SSH?

Forwarding ports is NOT inherently dangerous in itself and YES the safety is dependant on the service at the target port. But safety also depends on how good is your router’s firewall and how well it is protected, both internally and externally. For remote access, both SSH and VPN works as good as each other.
