Re: How safe is my campus WiFi network?
I've had good luck using port forwarding over an SSH connection in public hotspots. Besides the security, it lets me send e-mail with my usual client to the SMTP server, avoiding port 25 issues.
With the Web, it came to me that my choices were to add a connection for every site I visited or to use a proxy server. (Did I overlook something?) Fortunately, I have an ISP that maintains a proxy server that's reasonably fast.
The one missing piece is FTP, but I can just FTP files from the command line of my ISP account and send files up/down with SFTP or Zmodem. |
