https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-based_SSH

Accessibility: Web-based SSH as described in this article requires no local installation of client software. It is thus possible to access SSH servers through a web browser from anywhere. As communication is based on HTTP or HTTPS it is also possible to access SSH servers from behind a firewall or proxy that restricts Internet access to only ports 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS).

put https: in front of your normal web address (http:)

If you use https://www.duckduckgo.com , they have that option.

From what I understand SSH is not really secure in todays world. The older TLS (Terminal Level Security) I am told is better.

If you have questions about your computer connection security I would suggest looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-based_SSH

Gibson Research has been around a long time. I first used their port testers many years ago.
