Can't figure out tunneling
-
I have never really been able to figure out how an SSH tunnel works. I was wondering if this is what is happening.
I have an account with an SSH Tunneling Privacy Proxy service (not VPN). I connect using a Bitvise SSH Client. The Bitvise parameters are set to these:Login:
Host: <proxy service="" ip="">Port: 443
Username: <username>Password: ######On another tab, it has these entries:
Listen Interface: 127.0.0.19:5000 (this is also what my browser is set to)
Destination Host: 127.0.0.1:8888
''
My question: Is what is happening here with Bitvise - the encrypted SSH tunnel is from my machine to 'Host: <proxy service="" ip="">' 'Port: 443'.
Through that encrypted tunnel: my browser is connecting to 'Bitvise Listen Interface: 127.0.0.19:5000' and going through the SSH tunnel and connecting to the Privacy Proxy service's 'Destination Host: 127.0.0.1:8888'?Thanks</proxy></username></proxy>

Got this inquiry return from the proxy service, which usually never replies:
That is what should be happening, the encryption is done by the ssh
connection, the tunnel just passes data through that encrypted
connection to the proxy.
