SSH Tunnels

Create a SSH tunnel that uses port 9925 on the localhost. When traffic is received on localhost:9925 it will route it to 10.10.10.10:25

ssh -L 9925:localhost:25 10.10.10.10

Create a SSH tunnel that uses port 8282 and 9282 on the localhost. When traffic is received on localhost:8282 it will route it to 10.10.10.10:8280 and when traffic is received on localhost:9282 it will route it to 10.10.10.10:9280

ssh -L 8282:localhost:8280 -L 9282:localhost:9280 10.10.10.10

Create SSH tunnel that when a connection is made to the port 5044 on 10.10.10.10 it should be forwarded to port 5044 on your local machine.

ssh -R 5044:localhost:5044 10.10.10.10
