  • 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.
