| ## Preparing SSH for Tunneling | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Set your SSH configuration file to allow Port-Forwarding. By default, it is located at `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`. |

Is this step to be done on the local machine, or the ssh server? Or both?
|
|
||
| 2. Make sure the machines involved have at least three network interfaces (for example, `loopback`, `eth0` and `tun0`). | ||

The proper amount of indenting for a line like this is 8 spaces. 4 to keep it inline with the numbered list, and 4 to create a code block.
| Local port forwarding is denoted by the `-L` option. | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| ssh -L local_port:destination:destination_portbash |

Is "bash" at the end of this line meant to be there? Is it meant to signify the username@10.10.10.2 part?

In markdown, you can set syntax highlighting by putting the code language in this format into the code block. but since y'all use 8 spaces for code blocks instead, I'll go ahead and pull these out

| ## Dynamic Port Forwarding | ||
|
|
||
| This option will use your desired port as a SOCKS proxy, allowing you to run traffic through a tool like `proxychains` or a browser extension like `FoxyProxy`[[[FoxyProxy · GitHub](https://github.com/foxyproxy)]. |

What kind of tool is proxychains?
| Using our example IPs, we would run the following in our terminal. | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| ssh -R 8080:127.0.0.1:3000 user@10,10,10,2 |

Are the commas here intentional?

Ok, fixed what you mentioned and also annihilated just about every time I said "you" or "our" anywhere in the document |
