Outgoing Tunnel Definition
The following fields are used to define an outgoing tunnel. These values can be edited by clicking the Add or Edit buttons on the Outgoing page of the Settings dialog.
Figure : Creating an outgoing tunnel.
- Name
The name of the tunnel definition. You can use this field to type in a descriptive name that will help you to recognize this tunnel definition later on.
- Listen Port
This is the number of the port that the tunnel 'listens to', or captures.
- Allow Local Connections Only
Leave a checkmark in this box if you allow only local connections to be made. This means that other computers will not be able to use the tunnel created by you. By default, only local connections are allowed. This is the right choice for most situations. You should carefully consider the security implications if you decide to allow also outside connections.
- Destination Host
This field defines the destination host of the tunnel. The default value is localhost
.
- Destination Port
The destination port defines what port will be used in the destination end of the tunnel.
