from computer "A" to computer "B" [B = 192.168.56.5] then I can set the
SOCKS proxy for e.g.: Firefox to use "localhost:6000" on computer "A".
Ok. I can surf the web through "B".<br>
<br>
But:<br>
- Can anyone sniff the traffic of "A"? [e.g.: computers on same subnet
as "A"] Like DNS requests? - I think no, but I'm not sure :O<br>
<br>
- Can anyone sniff the traffic of computer "B"? e.g.: B computer is at
a server farm [others in the farm can see the traffic?] - I think yes,
but I'm not sure :O</td></tr></table><br>
