Why Use SSH Clients
To initiate your SSH tunnel, simply open Mac OSX Terminal.app and connect to your remote server via SSH with the following flags: ssh -D 8080 -C -N username@example.com This will launch our SSH tunnel on port 8080 and route all traffic (securely) through the server at example.com. My solution to this was the following. (1) Launch xquartz before trying the ssh -X. In the xquartz options, I just enabled 'Open at login', and then it is always running in the background. (2) Go to the xquartz Preferences menu, and on the Security window, click the box that says 'Allow connections from clients'.
SSH uses encryption to prevent eavesdroppers from reading information, such as your password, from the network. All SSH-type software allows for secure communication, replacing the vulnerable utilities like telnet, rlogin, ftp and rcp.
