Setting up a simple SSH tunnel
Normally I wanted to write about our last project, how to build a NES adapter for the PC, but without epoxy the project stays unfinished and has to wait… It’ll come soon – promise!
But instead I was inspired by a nice idea of Matt LeStock, how to set up a simple SSH tunnel on Windows and Linux machines. I took his manual an decided to write a batch file for this purpose and for all the people who hate memorizing command line parameters (although this one is really easy).

I created a little package with a batch and the needed plirk.exe from Putty, which I downloaded here.
Now it’s really simple to set up the tunnel. Just edit some parameters and double click the proxy.cmd file.
On Matt’s page you find a description with requirements and setup and in the readme.txt of the archive, you find all configuration commands you need to set, but it’s not that hard, that you need to read a book for that.
As I said: It’s just a simple idea.
So, have fun surfing (more) secure!

Very nice. I watched the Hak5 episode about this and followed Matt’s advice on his website and it worked like a charm. I wrote a small batch file to do all this, but yours is better. Thanks for making it available!
