To configure an SSH tunnel for DNS traffic, follow these steps:
1. Open a terminal window or command prompt.
1. Type the following command to create an SSH tunnel for DNS traffic:
ssh -L 53:localhost:53 user@remote\_host
Replace “user@remote\_host” with your username and remote host information.
1. Enter your password when prompted.
1. Once the SSH tunnel is created, open your network settings and change your DNS server to “127.0.0.1” (localhost).
1. Save your settings and your DNS traffic will now be tunneled through the SSH connection.
Note: Some systems may require administrative privileges to change the DNS settings, so make sure you have the necessary permissions before attempting to make changes.
