SSH for a standalone



I am trying to understand ssh and I have some problems.

So I need to ask a dumb question.

Make that two dumb questions.

Can a stand alone, say a laptop, connecting only with "outside" servers;
that is, web sites, email ISP's, etc., benefit from ssh tunneling?

In cases as above, does the remote require a key?

My laptop is not part of any network. It is the typical laptop belonging
to a loner.
