How to Setup Anonymizer and SecureCRT
This tutorial will
show you how to set up SSH for use with the Anonymizer. By using
SSH, your connection to the Anonymizer will travel through an encrypted
channel, which will protect you surfing activities from being monitored
by your internet service provider.
SSH can also be used
to secure other kinds of connections, such as news and e-mail.
