With the recent release of our SSH2 Tunnel technology, TUVPN is again breaking ground in the VPN industry with a new and extremely versatile tool at the disposal of our users.
In our Tutorials section, you can find all you need to get started with our SSH2 Tunnels. Firefox is the example application that we configure in our tutorials to use the SSH2 Tunnel. Let's see now how you would configure other popular applications to use our newest technology. We will configure Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Skype and Filezilla.
Remember that before configuring any given application to use the tunnel you need to have it up&running!:
