how to use ssh tunnel on opensolaris?, you can use it same as you use on other *nix machine. i use ssh tunneling if the network that I join untrusted network may be in hotspot area and other place. You can use it also for increase speed of your internet, if the network that you join has low bandwith you can tunnel through your server on the internet.
benefit to use it :
- safe browsing
- increase bandwith speed
- etc

Ssh command for tunneling
format :
ssh -o "CompressionLevel=9" -C -D 9999 -p 22 -N -l <username> <your_host>rachmat@osug-jogja:~$ssh -o "CompressionLevel=9" -C -D 9999 -p 22 -N -l w_tunnel tunnel.dev3.webenabled.net
w_tunnel@tunnel.dev3.webenabled.net's password:after you input password, and if nothing happen then you mean have connected trough ssh tunnel. so you must configure your browser to use SOCKS v5.
without tunnel :
browsing -> firewall ( 80 -> 3128 ) -> inet
with tunnel :
brwosing -> localhost (9999) -> 22 -> firewall -> inet
