How to choose a tool

SSH is usually enough for a single terminal session. A VPN gives you network access to services. Tor Browser uses its own routing model. Decide which traffic should use the connection and who operates the exit point.

Checks before use

Open an overview of the selected program: there is a link to the official distribution, the start of work and restrictions. First check the script on the test data, then configure the copies and restore. A description of the feature does not mean that it works the same in every version or on each platform.
