SSH Tunnels SIMPLIFIED!

Using SSH tunnels is the most magical, incredible, HORRIBLY CONFUSING thing you can do with SSH. But once you understand how they're actually redirecting traffic, using them becomes second nature. Plus you can do sneaky things like getting around a firewall and accessing servers that are supposed to be hidden!

I promise it's worth the effort.

In this video I explain how both local and remote tunnels work, why some people call them "forward and reverse" tunnels, and some pretty crafty reasons you might want to use them.

NOTE: SSH tunnels, particularly remote tunnels, can be SUPER SNEAKY and powerful. That bypassing firewall thing I talked about is the real deal.
