How to Create a Free SSH Account on Shellmix to Use as a Webhost & More « Null Byte :: WonderHowTo

Having anSSHorSecureSHell to tunnel your traffic through is something we have talked about many times at Null Byte. As we know, it allows us to securely route and encrypt our traffic through a remote server, effectively anonymizing us and protecting our traffic from all forms of analysis—simultaneously. We have gone over how to make a home SSH tunnel. However, the question has come up, "How can I get an SSH tunnel to somewhere other than my computer?" This would be useful in a situation where anonymity at home is a must, or in the event you need to hide web traffic from your geeky brother or something.Shellmix offers a free shell account service to anyone who SSHs in. Though having anonymity from home is good, there is actually a lot of cool stuff that we can do with our secure shell that you might not have thought of.SSH Kung-FuFree web hosting.Free file backup.Free virtual host to obfuscate your IP address.You can run remote programs, such as a bot for an IRC channel without downtime.As you see, there is very little reason to not want to have an SSH tunnel, even if you are a Windows user, you should learn Linux terminal commands to make the most of your shell.RequirementsAn SSH client.
