Transparent proxy server that works as a poor man's VPN. Forwards over ssh. Doesn't require admin. Works with Linux and MacOS. Supports DNS tunneling.

Scott Kuhl 036c49e412 When subnets and excludes are specified with hostnames, use all IPs.
The list of subnets to route over VPN and the list of subnets to
exclude are parsed in option.py parse_subnetport(). Hostnames or IP
addresses are supported. If a hostname was provided, only the first IP
address was considered. This could result in some traffic not
traversing the VPN that the user might expect should traverse it from
the arguments passed to sshuttle.

This patch makes the function handle all of the IPs if a hostname is
provided. If a user provides a hostname with a CIDR mask, problems can
occur and we warn the user about the issue.

If the user includes a hostname with both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address,
and the underlying method doesn't support IPv6, then this patch will
cause sshuttle to fail. I plan to provide a future patch where failure
won't occur if the only place IPv6 addresses appear is in the exclude
list. In that case it should be safe to ignore the IPv6 address.

This patch also changes parse_ipport() which is used by the --to-ns
option. If the user provides a hostname here, we just use the first IP
from the hostname and warn the user that only one is being used.

sshuttle: where transparent proxy meets VPN meets ssh
=====================================================

As far as I know, sshuttle is the only program that solves the following
common case:

- 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.

- The remote network has no VPN, or only stupid/complex VPN
  protocols (IPsec, PPTP, etc). Or maybe you *are* the
  admin and you just got frustrated with the awful state of
  VPN tools.

- 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 `terrible performance`_.
