Here is a collection of (mostly Bash) code snippets for practically everything.

This is not a guide for anything specific.

Only run commands you understand.

Bash

# HTTP "hand off" using SSH
sudo ssh -L <local_port>:<remote_ip>:<remote_port> <public_ip_for_ssh_connection>
E.g.
sudo ssh -L 5000:192.168.2.1:443 71.12.23.52
Go to http://localhost:5000 and you can interact withe the site running on the remote server, 71.12.23.52.
