SSH and port-forwarding is probably simplest, and works well. > At least one of the sites I wish to connect > from uses a web proxy and I would have to tunnel through it. See ssh_config(5): ProxyCommand. If you must connect from Windows too, PuTTY has a similar option. > What software/techniques can people suggest, and how much of a risk am I > exposing myself to by doing this?
