Hi everyone, Today, we will try to give you a simple explanation of a life-saver feature: SSH tunnels and port-forwarding! There are many cases in which you will find SSH-tunnels very useful: when your remote server is not directly accessible (behind a firewall or in a DMZ) when your remote program only binds to 127.0.0.1 (if you are using a mysql instance only bound to localhost on your web server for instance) when you want to secure a protocol (like VNC or X11) by transporting it through an encrypted SSH channel when you connect to a home computer, NAS or Raspberry Pi from the Internet when you need to get through a network equipment where only SSH protocol is allowed when you open a connection to a remote server and need to easily open a reverse communication channel from the remote server to your local computer In all these situations, you will be able to achieve your goal easily thanks to SSH-tunnels.

Hi everyone! We receive a lot of emails asking how to keep X11-forwarding working after changing user to root inside a SSH session in MobaXterm. This is by default not allowed on Unix/Linux systems, because the X11 display connection belongs to the user you used to log with when connecting to your remote SSH server. X11-forwarding mechanism does not allow anyone to use the open display. However, in some cases you may need to start a graphical application like nedit or firefox in a sudo or su context.
