What is SSH dynamic port forwarding?
Also known as dynamic tunneling, or SSH SOCKS5 proxy, dynamic port forwarding allows you to specify a connect port that will forward every incoming traffic to the remote server dynamically. Dynamic port forwarding turns your SSH client into a SOCKS5 proxy server.
How to OpenSSH dynamic port forwarding?
Set up SSH Tunneling in Windows
Launch Putty and enter the SSH server IP Address in the Host name (or IP address) field. Under the Connection menu, expand SSH and select Tunnels . Check the Local radio button to setup local, Remote for remote, and Dynamic for dynamic port forwarding.
Is port forwarding the same as SOCKS proxy?
The simplest answer is that port-forwarding (as in NAT) is generally transparent to the client, while a SOCKS (or HTTP) proxy requires the client to explicitly use the proxy protocol.
Can SSH be used for port forwarding?
SSH is a secure shell and it offers a private connection between hosts. SSH port forwarding is one method that is used to tunnel traffic through an SSH connection. This can be done either locally or remotely if you are not close by to the target machine.
