[SGVLUG] Ssh tunnel host selection

[Henry B Hotz]

Configure some non-default network routes. I'm assuming that Netflix, et al have identifiable IP ranges. Leave the default pointed at your tunnel. (Or vice versa, if it's easier.)

> haha no it's fine, describing network topologies isn't always simple. So my home network consists of a cable modem which connects to my wifi router and my laptop connects to that, pretty standard. Then I create an ssh tunnel from my laptop to my server and send all my traffic through it. What I'd like to do is connect to certain hosts, like netflix.com, hulu.com, etc, through standard http and not my ssh tunnel on port...23445, i think i have it on. Is there any way to do that?
