Internet Secure Tunneling
-
Version
2.0.0.244
Internet Secure Tunneling can forward otherwise
insecure TCP traffic through encrypted SSH Secure Shell
tunnel. You can secure for example DATABASE, POP3, SMTP
and HTTP connections that would otherwise be insecure.
The tunneling capability of SSH Secure Shell is a
feature that allows, for example, company employees to
access their email, company intraweb pages and shared
files securely by even when working from home or on the
road.
Tunneling makes it possible to access email from any
type of Internet service (whether accessed via modem, a
DSL line or a cable connection, or a hotel Internet
service). As long as the user has an IP connection to
the Internet she can get her mail and access other
resources from anywhere in the world securely.
This often is not the case with more traditional IPSec
based VPN technologies because of issues with
traversing networks that are implementing Network
Address Translation (NAT) - this is especially the case
in hotels. NAT breaks an IPSec connection unless
special protocols such as NAT-Traversal are implemented
on the client and gateway.
The client-server applications using the tunnel will
carry out their own authentication procedures, if any,
the same way they would without the encrypted tunnel.
The protocol/application might only be able to connect
to a fixed port number ( e.g. IMAP 143). Otherwise any
available port can be chosen for port forwarding.
