Setting up a simple SSH tunnel can be incredibly useful, yet finding a straightforward guide can be surprisingly challenging. In this Quick-Tip, I’ll walk you through the process using OpenSSH on a Linux/Unix system. With SSH tunneling, you can securely route all your local traffic through a remote server where you have an account.

One common use case for SSH tunneling is redirecting outbound email traffic to a personal server. This can help you avoid the hassle of changing SMTP servers, dealing with SMTP-AUTH, and other complications when you’re behind firewalls. Hotel firewalls, wireless access points, and various NATing devices you encounter while traveling don’t always cooperate. Here’s how to do it:

In the past, setting up true two-factor authentication (2FA) for SSH access has been a bit of a challenge. However, with the release of OpenSSH 6.2, full and proper support for 2FA is now available. This article explains how to set up SSH 2FA using Google Authenticator on Ubuntu, which greatly enhances the security of your SSH access.
