CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 Practice Question

The primary benefit of configuring port redirection, commonly referred to as port forwarding when done through tools like SSH, is to allow secure, encrypted connections to services on networks that are not directly reachable by the client. It creates a tunnel for the network packets to move from one interface to another within the same machine or from one machine to another, enabling access to services behind a firewall or NAT without exposing them directly to the Internet.
