I have set up port forwarding with MacSSH to try to see if it is a good alternative to Fsecure.
All in all, it's a GREAT alternative to Fsecure, I really like it.
However, I can only connect a client application to the fowarded port if I have check "allow guests".
When this is checked, pretty much anyone with an IP connection can also connect a client application to my mac. This is NOT GOOD.
In fact, it sorta makes it unusable, as it defeats the purpose of tunneling a port through ssh in the first place.
What am I doing wrong?
Please help.
don't use 'localhost', but the loopback address 127.0.0.1
I never said thanks Jean-Pierre So, thanks.
