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.

If an exception occurs in hostwatch, sshuttle exits. Problems read/writing the ~/.sshuttle.hosts cache file on the remote machine would therefore cause sshuttle to exit. With this patch, we simply continue running without writing/reading the cache file in the remote home directory. This serves as an alternate fix for pull request #322 which proposed storing the cache file elsewhere. A list of included changes: - If we can't read or write the host cache file on the server, continue running. Hosts can be collected through the netstat, /etc/hosts, etc and the information can be reconstructed each run if a cache file isn't available to read. We write a log() message when this occurs. - Add additional types of exceptions to handle. - Continue even if we cannot read /etc/hosts on the server. - Update man page to mention the cache file on the remote host. - Indicate that messages are related to remote host instead of local host. - Add comments and descriptions to the code. |

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`_.
