Port tunneling in Windows
In this example scenario, you're over at your friend's house and you would like
to access the web interface of your home router to make some adjustments to the
configuration. The following are the steps to access the web interface:
1. Start PuTTY and select Connection , then SSH , then Tunnels from the
Category tree on the left.
2. In the Source port field, enter any port number above 1024 that you think
is available on the local Windows machine.
3. In the Destination field, , enter the IP address of the computer and port of the
service you would like to reach through the tunnel, then click on Add . In this
example, the computer in question is the router and the web interface is on
port 80 , so we would fill in 192.168.1.1:80 .
4. Now select Session from the Category tree on the left and log in to your Pi
like you usually would. The tunnel is being set up in the background.
5. Finally, open up a web browser and enter the following URL, but
replace [localport] with the port you chose in step 2 http://
localhost:[localport] .
6. You should now be looking at the web interface of your home router just as if
you were sitting at home.
