How-To: SSH tunnels for secure network access {Engadget}

Mar 21st 2006 9:43PM SSH Windows (Linked from the hackaday article) hasn’t been updated since July of 2004, and it’s using OpenSSH v3.81. OpenSSH is currently at v4.3 from February 2006. I don’t know if this matters to anyone.

If you don’t want the hassle of completely setting up your own Cygwin environment and OpenSSH, you might look at copSSH. It is actively maintained and up to date as of this post.
You can find it from ITeF!x consulting:

One note, I never successfully posted a message to their help forum. Again, I don’t know how important that is to anyone.

I used copSSH on my home computer for a while, but decided that I needed a full Cygwin install. It wasn’t very hard to get it setup by hand, though I did hit a few snags because I didn’t know anything about Cygwin when I started. copSSH will configure everything almost automatically, pulling users from Windows and using their passwords. Key encryption is not hard to set up, though.

I’ve been using the combination of Cygwin, openSSH, Privoxy, and Tor to tunnel all my internet use from an open computer at school to my PC in my apartment for about a month now. It slows the connection down a bit (Especially Tor, of course) but it’s been very stable.
