{{Admon/note | | You can also use an ssh connection to tunnel other types of traffic. There could be different reasons for doing this. For example tunneling traffic for an unencrypted application/protocol through ssh can increase the security of that application. Alternatively you could use it to circumvent a firewall that is blocking traffic you wish to use but allows ssh traffic to pass through.}}
* You will be working with the 2nd scenario of bypassing a firewall that blocks http traffic.
* In this investigation fedora1 will be your http server and fedora2 will be your client.
* On the HTTP server (fedora1), make sure the Apache web server is installed by typing the command:
** <code>rpm -q httpd</code>
* If it is installed check the configuration of the service to see if it is automatically started at any runlevels by issuing the command:
** <code>chkconfig --list httpd</code>
* If it has not been started automatically start the service using the command:
** <code>service httpd start</code>
* Confirm that httpd is listening to TCP/80 using the command:
** <code>netstat -atnp</code>
* Create a small html document called <code>/var/www/html/index.html</code> that displays a short message.*
* On the fedora1 (the http server) confirm everything is working locally by using a browser to connect to http://localhost
