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.

1. Establish a SSH connection with your proxy server
   
   
   

2. Now right click on the title bar and select change settings
   

3. Expand the SSH Settings
   

   
   
   
   

4. Select Tunnels

6. Add destination IP and Port
   

   

7. Add and Apply the Settings
   

   
   
   
   

8. Validation
   Using your windows CMD check all connections on port 8080

netstat -a | findstr "8080"
