Sometimes you need to connect to the same server with different credentials or different host address. For example:

  • Case1: You connect to a server with a normal account mostly, and connect to the same server with a root account when do some maintenance work.
  • Case2: You connect to your NAS with LAN address at home, while connect to the same NAS with WAN address when you are outside.
