I use an SSH tunnel for the port my browser uses to access the internet. The result is I get around the firewall my network uses, which prevents me from using many sites I want to use (facebook, anyone?). If I SSH tunnel like this, what does the sysadmin see about my internet history? Does he just see an SSH connected, and then encrypted information? Or can he see somehow I'm on facebook, and the SSH tunnel is only good enough for the firewall?
hmm, i have a mac. do you know what software I should check for to see if they check my history? if i use stealth mode, will that address the history flaw? – Tony Stark – 2010-08-23T18:11:24.740
@hatorade there's no way to know for sure. You should ask your sysadmin. Programs like these *if they are installed anyway* can be hard to detect. Private browsing or trying a different browser *might* work but there's no way to be sure unless you ask if and how you're being monitored. – BloodPhilia – 2010-08-23T18:16:30.690
true, but i figure someone here probably knows the more popular ones :) – Tony Stark – 2010-08-23T18:17:37.863
