	One of the many benefits of SSH is that you can create an encrypted tunnel from a port on the client machine to a port on the server machine. This allows the client to access services and daemons on the server that are not exposed to the internet. The traffic is sent to the port of the SSH server, decrypted by the server and then forwarded to the port requested by the client. One useful application of this is providing remote access to a Squid proxy server through Windows.
