Package: sshuttle Version: 0.2 Architecture: i386 Maintainer: Jim Wyllie Depends: autossh, upstart, python (>=2.6) Section: utils Priority: optional Homepage: http://github.com/jwyllie83/sshuttle.udp Description: "Full-featured" VPN over an SSH tunnel, allowing full remote access somewhere where all you have is an SSH connection. It works well if you generally find yourself in the following situation: . - Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS. - You have access to a remote network via ssh. - You don't necessarily have admin access on the remote network. - You do not wish to, or can't, use other VPN software - You don't want to create an ssh port forward for every single host/port on the remote network. - You hate openssh's port forwarding because it's randomly slow and/or stupid. - You can't use openssh's PermitTunnel feature because it's disabled by default on openssh servers; plus it does TCP-over-TCP, which has suboptimal performance . It also has hooks for more complicated setups (VPN-in-a-SSH-VPN, etc) to allow you to set it up as you like.
