I should add just for the record  that in many companies, you will get fired
and maybe prosecuted if you get caught using programs like this.

While it benefits the user who's using this, it of course puts the whole
company at risk by putting an unmanaged and unprotected tunnel back in the
company if the remote host gets compromized.
