Ok, this is fine. It really isn't much trouble to setup an SSH tunnel, and you'll get more with it should you desire later (like securely controlling your desktop remotely).

There is no server software integrated into the SSH client's putty, or tunnelier, or ... Sike Wrote: > > My question was: Does Slimserver have to run on a Linux machine for SSH > to be availible?

My SSH server is not running on the same box where my slimserver is running. Your first task is to setup one of your internal LAN or DMZ systems to run an SSH server. Which implementation you choose depends on which platform you are running. There are open source and for pay versions. And there are most likely pre-built binaries for your platform, so you don't have to build it yourself.

You just want something more - security over an untrusted network. MAC security is not security at all - its trivial to change your MAC address on most network devices. You really do want SSH or IPSEC or ... Sike Wrote: > > What is the defacto standard SSH Server? > There is no defacto standard server implementation. As I indicated earlier, it depends on platform, and other things. There is OpenSSH, SSH Communications Security, and several non-open source implementations. It really does depend on platform and vendor choice.
