Suppose you have to test some API. But the APIs can be accessed from your staging server only. How can you test those APIs from your local PC? 
Hmm, A big problem. But it has a small solution. You can follow the steps below.
Install proxy package if not installed:
<pre><code>npm install -g http-proxy-to-socks
</code></pre>Add port listener for your remote server (here we are opening 5001 port)
<pre><code>ssh -D 5001 -i private_key.pem server_user_name@server_ip
</code></pre>Forward socket requests to 5001 port (It’ll capture requests from port 8080)
<pre><code>hpts -s 127.0.0.1:5001 -p 8080
</code></pre>Setup postman proxy
<ol>
<li>Postman settings &gt; Proxy &gt; Add custom proxy &gt; 127.0.0.1:8080 </li>
<li>Uncheck use system proxy</li>
</ol>
