Encypted tunnels
Linux script: tunnel.sh
Description: create an ssh tunnel through a gateway.
Usage:
tunnel [user@]gateway target port [source-port [ssh-port] ]
tunnel -s - list all open tunnels, you can also use --show
And for those that still use windows (are there any?), here is a batch file tunnel.bat.
The only difference with the linux script is that you have to give both source-port and ssh port, there is no sanity check and show is not implemented!
You need plink to use it.
