What is remote tunneling?

What is difference between port forwarding and tunneling?

port forwarding can be performed using only the data available in the network packet envelope. Tunneling requires inspection of the data inside the packet (at least to establish the tunnel). port forwarding is 'stateless' in the sense that all data matching the rules is forwarded.

What is SSH tunneling used for?

SSH tunneling, or SSH port forwarding, is a method of transporting arbitrary data over an encrypted SSH connection. SSH tunnels allow connections made to a local port (that is, to a port on your own desktop) to be forwarded to a remote machine via a secure channel.

What is the difference between local and remote port forwarding?

Local port forwarding – connections from an SSH client are forwarded, via the SSH server, to a destination server. Remote port forwarding – connections from an SSH server are forwarded, via the SSH client, to a destination server.
