And neither the Amazon firewall nor the KUAL firewall place any restrictions on the USB network connection.
For the USB cable, it is assumed that it is physically secure.
I.E: Your eyeball is what keeps it from being wire-tapped.

My sequence of "SSH HowTo"s went even further, describing how to set up a short "nickname" (or "shortcut" name) for your SSH accessible devices.
I.E:
ssh knc1 <--- shell on the knetconnect.com server 3,000 miles away
ssh kpw <--- shell on the Kindle Paperwhite sitting next to my keyboard
( Which, of course, use different pub-key pairs.)
These "shortcut names" work with ssh, scp, sftp, rsync & probably other programs.
The "shortcut names" also work when using ssh as a replacement for rsh (when passing a shell command to the remote shell).
Also described and demonstrated in the long series of "SSH HowTo"s.
Also described and demonstrated is how to get rid of the dropbear banner and the system MOTD (both annoying when running scripts that execute partially on the host and partially on the remote).
About the only things missing in the HowTos is tunneling and port forwarding (sorry, I got tired of typing about ssh).
Filter this forum's threads on the "HowTo" prefix - you'll find them (you only have to find one - they are all forward and backward linked to the next/prior HowTo in the series).
