[Gslug-general] SSH on port 443

[Thibaut Colar]

For what you want to do a plain ssh server should be fine.

A tunnel program (which typically just reroute traffic through a 
connection, like an SSL link) can be nice to have if you need a more 
powerful/permanent solution(like running a server behind it etc...).

Few years back i had an ISP that was blocking just about anything, and i 
setup such a tunnel(vtun) which would just come up at boot, with this 
you are basically able to reroute all traffic through the tunnel and 
basically bypass any restriction, since you can basically bypass their 
firewall, gateway, content filter etc....
Of course that also means you have to think about security when using a 
tunnel, since you are basically providing a bypass to your network from 
the other end of the tunnel.
