On Windows with Cygwin, setting up an SSH proxy works just like it does under Linux&#x2F;BSD, pretty easy to do[0].  I prefer it over Putty because Putty doesn&#x27;t accept the same SSH key as used on unix systems which is a bit of a pain to deal with.  I also think it&#x27;s nicer using the Cygwin bash shell as the terminal, especially if needing to use it frequently.<p>[0] If anyone doesn&#x27;t know how, here&#x27;s a good resource (actually not specific to OS or linode vps):
