Port forwarding
Port forwarding, sometimes referred to as tunneling, is a method used by Secure Shell (SSH) for secure communications over the network. Port forwarding is the act of forwarding a network port from one network node to another, which enables an external user to reach a port on a private IP address (inside a LAN) from the outside via a NAT-enabled router.
