KPN Tunnel: SSH Tunnel

Learn how to configure KPN Tunnel using SSH for secure and reliable connections.

What is SSH Tunnel?
SSH Tunnel is the most popular and secure method for configuring KPN Tunnel.

SSH (Secure Shell) Tunnel is a method that creates an encrypted connection between your device and a remote server. This method is widely used because it provides both security and reliability for bypassing network restrictions.

The SSH tunnel method works by establishing a secure connection to an SSH server, then routing your internet traffic through this encrypted tunnel. This makes it difficult for carriers to detect and block your traffic.

Secure Method: SSH Tunnel provides encryption for your traffic, making it one of the most secure methods available in KPN Tunnel.

How SSH Tunnel Works

1. SSH Connection

Your device establishes a secure SSH connection to a remote server using username and password authentication.

2. Traffic Routing

All your internet traffic is routed through the SSH tunnel, making it appear as encrypted SSH traffic to your carrier.
