If what you need is a secure tunnel, you can always use an ssh tunnel.

I think U don't know about MLs: 1st thing is about searching on your
own, 2nd thing is *really* search on you own, 3rd thing is *really,
really* search on your own; 3rd thing is NOT to bother anyone before
having searching 'really really really' before searching by your own.

Asking without making personal research is a confusion of mind...
