06/12/2023, 5:43 PMHello, I'm evaluating the use of airbyte and in the comparison of versions, I understood that the SSH tunnels functionality only exists in the paid version. I would like to explore this point further, in the case of the free function does it mean that the connection between airbyte and my database will not be done through an encrypted tunnel?

This means you can establish an encrypted tunnel between Airbyte and your database even in the free version. Here are some examples of sources and destinations that support SSH tunnel connections: - [TiDB](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/tidb) - [Oracle](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/oracle) - [Microsoft SQL Server](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mssql) - [MySQL (source)](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mysql) - [MySQL (destination)](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/mysql) - [Elasticsearch](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/elasticsearch) - [MongoDB](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/mongodb) - [ClickHouse](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/clickhouse) These extracts show that Airbyte allows you to configure SSH tunnel connections for various databases, ensuring encrypted communication even in the open-source version.
