Shell Programming and Scripting
Are free public shells for ssh tunneling safe?

I'm not sure I understood you guys 
To clarify, by public shell I meant a shell for which you can sign up on certain websites for free. You signup and then you can use your personal login and password to access the shell.
I need such shell solely for the purpose of ssh tunneling for safe browsing and to access domains which are blocked by my ISP.
I read this somewhere: "sshd (SSH Daemon) is the daemon program for ssh(1). Together these programs ... provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network."
As I understood neither my ISP nor the shell provider can eavesdrop and log which sites I'm browsing and what passwords I enter when I use ssh tunneling or not?

Hi!
I came to know about SSH Tunneling to bypass the Firewall.
I will have to setup a free access SSH server to tunnel data access through PUTTY or OpenSSH.
The problem is that I don't know about any free access servers.
So, can anyone of you guide me for that, for any type of help? (1 Reply)

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8) NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with SSH protocol version 2. ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''. ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen- tication. FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled. /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read- able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host- based authentication is used. SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8) HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2. AUTHORS
