Setup a SSH tunnel with TorGuard & Bitvise:
This tutorial will show in a few steps how one can setup a secure ssh tunnel using Bitvise and TorGuard ssh tunnel service. To order ssh tunnel service just select this added feature during checkout, or contact our support team to have it added to your account. Adding a private SSH tunnel to your browsing session adds another valuable layer of anonymity, security, and encryption. SSH tunnels are also very effective at bypassing strict firewalls like those that are prevalent in China and Iran. Or, maybe your workplace has strict rules blocking all VPN access and you just want to get on facebook. Whatever the reason may be, ssh tunnels are a great way for stealth access to the open web.
