Hello, I'm evaluating Heroku and I can't find an answer of weather I can create an SSH tunnel in an Heroku instance.
The problem I'm trying to solve is to communicate with an external database server (mysql, mongodb, whatever) or another service securely since database connection is in cleartext. I'm aware Heroku offers its own database services (not for mongo) or I can set up EC2 instances with the dbs and that's safer because data moves in the same data center in principle. Basically I'd need to run an ssh client (ssh -L) on Heroku to ssh out. I know I cannot ssh in but documentation is so sparse, I can't even find if git pushes over ssh or not. Or I'd be interested to know of another solution on how to connect securely (encrypted, not plain-text) to a database in an external, non- AWS server.
