Dusty92 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hello everyone, Lately I have been getting worried about my internet security with 'Powers' around me, lol ;) And I know that I have been hearing about the SSH tunneling lately on the show. I'm new to all this stuff so I did the research someone should do before you do much. And I can only find SSH accounts that are for a cost or donation. My question is: Are there SSH services out there that don't cost, AND are the free ones safe to use? Thank you all for taking a second for my question.

I personally wouldnt use a free shell service, but if its something you want to try, just dont do anything critical with it. Best bet is buy a domain and get hosting, like a Dreamhost site, and they come with shell access by default, ssh, etc. Its about a hundred dollars a year, but well worth the money.

VaKo Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Depends, while I wouldn't put my credit card details through a free shell or login to a system using any of my main passwords, they are safe enough for what I would use one for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
