Publisher's description
From rs4u software design :SSH Tunnel is a powerful encryption and tunneling program that supports SSH1 and SSH2. It has a very flexible port forward system that allows for the assignment of any local addresses (including changing ones like DHCP assigned) as well as remote port forwarding (given your provider supports/provides this feature). SSH Tunnel also incorporates the use of backup servers and auto-reconnect to ensure that your connection is stable and consistent.
SSH Tunnel's connection limit setting allows you to specify how many concurrent connections you want the software to make to help prevent connection errors on servers that limit the number of simultaneous connections. SSH Tunnel's built in firewall helps you make sure no connection is made to any address you don't want to as long as SSH Tunnel is loaded. This prevents programs from accessing the Internet outside of the tunnel even in case you configured that program incorrectly. SSH Tunnel offers you to configure Internet Explorer to use it.

Version: SSH Tunnel 4.1.3
"Good, but not from download.com"
Pros: Support of Urgent Data feature for tunnelling. (putty failed in some cases).
Cons: Download.com gives a really old version ( 6 months outdated). Rather go on the editor website to get the latest one.
Be carrefull, this thing reconfigure you IE settings, which can sometime screw up everything.

Version: SSH Tunnel 4.1.3
Pros: Installation was clear, the interface is small and seemingly straightforward, and spyware was no where to be seen.
Cons: What the description doesn't mention is that the application works by communicating with two copies of itself, one on each machine. That's not a problem unless it's unexpected. At this point, I can't physically put a hand on the second machine and install a copy of SSH Tunnel there, so I can't use this software. I thought that this was a basic FTP program with a little extra, optional security. The description needs to be much clearer.

Version: SSH Tunnel 4.1.3
"Does exactly what is says on the tin."
Pros: Works as advertised. It's free. Does all you need. Interface is OK. Very simple for technical users who need it.
Cons: Need to understand Port Forwarding. randyowl's comments regarding changing the IE settings are true but these were easy to resolve (check LAN proxy settings!)

Version: SSH Tunnel 4.1.3
"Messed up my internet settings"
Pros: None for me.
Cons: After installing the software and adding a a remote connection I could no longer get to the internet by any means. Even after I uninstalled the application I still could not connect until I recovered with a Windows XP restore point luckily just a few days old.
