The GSW Business Tunnel is a versatile and secure connectivity tool that allows you and your coworkers secure access to required network services that are often risky due to non-secure locations or impossible due to firewall configurations.
With the GSW Business Tunnel, secure tunnels are built over a network between the Business Tunnel Software and an SSH Server. Each tunnel may contain one or more channels where encrypted traffic is encapsulated and is sent through an encrypted channel providing the security you need to confidently connect over a wifi network.
Scenario: Access to www.craigslist.com is blocked by the company proxy filter in Headquarters. However, the company has some older office furniture for sale on craigslist. The facilities manager wants to view the ad. He knows the training laptop on the company intranet in the guest relations building has access to the internet and is running the GSW SSH Server.
Solution: The facilities manager knows the training laptop on the company intranet in the guest relations building has access to the internet and is running the GSW SSH Server. The HQ7 (running the GSW Business Tunnel) creates a tunnel to the guest relations laptop (GRLT), which is running the GSW SSH Server. He now has safe and secure access to the craigslist website within minutes.

In our example, we selected 10082. 4.Fill in the host address of the blocked website as the remote address. 5.Use 80 for the Remote Port.
On the Guest Relations Laptop, Configure the GSW SSH Server 1.Make sure local port forwarding is enabled on the SSH Server. With the GSW SSH Server, the sitting is in the registry.
On HQ7, Configure the Browser 1.Open the browser and enter URL http://127.0.0.1:10082 (from the channel configuration) 2.Browse the craigslist website safely and securely!
*this example works as long as the links and options on the website have relative addresses.
