SSH Tunnel using putty


  • Start up putty
  • Navigate to Connection > SSH > Tunnels

  • Enter the following values
    • Source port : is what port you want to connect to it locally...like 7065
      • NOTE: by default you connect on local as localhost
    • Destination  : the ip with port to which you want a tunnel created
      • in the format of 55.23.33.221:7065
  • Click on Add
  • Select Session on your putty window and save it with a name as a session
  • Then click Open.
  • This throws up a terminal just like a normal SSH where you need to log in
Wallah!!.....you should be able to access 55.23.33.221:7065 as localhost:7065
