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.

sshuttle has a --latency-buffer-size parameter, but it only changes the buffer size on the client and not the server. Therefore, increasing or decreasing the number doesn't make any change in download performance (like the documentation indicates that it should). You can test this change by setting up a sshuttle connection and downloading a large file through sshuttle. With this patch, you should find that increasing --latency-buffer-size increases the download speed. Without the patch, the parameter should have little impact on performance. |

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`_.
