Here's the question. Say I'm connecting to a remote IMAP server that
also runs SSH, and I want to forward all of my traffic through an
encrypted tunnel. From my local client I would issue something like
this: ssh -2 -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3333:remoteserver:143 sleep 600
, and then redirect my local IMAP client to port 3333 on my on own
machine. I'm curious as to what happens to the packets after sshd on the
remote server gets them. Would they be decrypted and treated like any
other packet arriving on the interface, going through all of the
iptables rules and such?
Thanks for the help.
