sshtunnel

I have trouble remembering the arguments that one gives to ssh if establishing a tunnel to forward traffic over. My solution was to write an application to remember them for me. That's what this is.

What does it do?

You can basically set up proxies on your machine to a remote machine over ssh. You can use these with other applications (e.g., FoxyProxy or a system-wide SOCKS proxy) to forward traffic over the proxy. No other connections are supported at the moment. Password authentication isn't currently supported, nor is using a public key (unless ssh-agent knows its passphrase). When wondering why I made such obvious omissions, it is useful to remember that I wrote sshtunnel primarily for my own use.

How do I get it?

You can download sshtunnel here

If I have problems?

You can report bugs (and view the source code) on github.
