Yes, SSH is very safe!And I am quite aware of how alternate ports for the sshd.Most of the time this guide is like rnnvieet the wheel. I did not do the tunneling due to security issues in ssh but to pass through tightly secured proxies and firewalls. On larger companies, security department usually only allow internet traffic on http and https (ssl) through a forward proxy.Then you have two ways to go.1. Tunnel ssh over http; Then you must cope with all strange hacks a forward proxy might do. Adding headers etc.2. Or do some tricks over https proxy connect with ssl, one could be my solution above.
