The new revision adds some great features! The tunnel now shows the connection being built, with several visual cues - red for no tunnel, yellow for tunnel startup, green for working tunnel. It even shows the various port-forwarding connections being made. However, SSHTunnel is still having trouble detecting when tunnels are broken Also, AutoSSH would re-establish broken connections automatically once the machine is hooked back up to the internet.
A minor quibble is the somewhat unintuitive data entry for new tunnels. If you finish a line and then hit the "add" button, the line gets erased and you get to start over. Silly rabbit, you were supposed to hit enter first! Lastly, it would have been nice if SSHTB2 could have imported the prior preference file instead of forcing the user to enter the data all over again.
Nothing takes away from the fact that this is a great program for those of us who like to keep their internet connections secure. Best of all, it's free, so a big hat off to Yann Tynsoe for developing it in the first place. Just a quick note: you can get the new version of SSH Tunnel Manager to pick up the settings from the previous version.
Guest Jul 24 For the most part, this program does everything it promises. I use it to establish secure tunnels to and from my mail server. I like SSH Tunnel Manager because it is easy to set up and it offers a simple interface to configure the tunnels just as you want them. Furthermore, it offers support for multiple tunnels to multiple machines that are easy to start and stop.
My only criticism of this program is that it will show a tunnel as "on" when it may not be. Furthermore, it would be great if the program could incorporate a color scheme that reflected the status of the three tunnel states: "off", "building", and "on". Lastly, once a tunnel is up, it would be fantastic if Tunnel Builder could incorporate code from the freeware autoSSH to maintain that tunnel.
Folks who use DSL usually have no trouble keeping a tunnel "on", while cable users like myself find that tunnels collapse within 10 minutes of being launched. For all my criticisms, I would like to reiterate that this is a great little program that puts an easy-to-use GUI in front of the user for a powerful built-in CLI package that can be more than a bit daunting.
Guest Mar 27 Absolutely great bit of software Simple, fast, small and perfect Show more. The scrollback buffer can be configured to save up to 10, lines. User key management: allows user keys to be viewed, generated, removed, imported and exported. Host key management: allows host keys to be viewed, removed, imported and exported.
Appearence Multiple terminal color schemes are provided, and you can create new color schemes with customized foreground, background, and ANSI colors. Change font name and size. Change cursor color, shape and blinking. Supports the creation of multiple TAB groups, the app window can be splitted horizontally or vertically, and tabs can be dragged and dropped between TAB groups.
Force Touch can open a search engine or dictionary. Supports macOS dark mode. File transfers Send and receives files via ZModem. While the screenshots may look different, these directions should work on any version of MacOS back to at least Snow Leopard An SSH tunnel is another method of rerouting some or all traffic from one location like your local computer through another your remote server.
All of this rerouted traffic is securely encrypted as it travels between your local machine and the remote server thanks to SSH. With a tunnel active and traffic proxied through the tunnel, that traffic will appear to be coming from your remote server instead of your local machine.
This can be useful to bypass remote network issues or restrictive firewalls. If you are looking for an article explaining how to set up an SSH tunnel on your Windows machine, see our article here. The Mac already ships with all of the tools needed to set up an SSH tunnel, but you'll also need a remote server to SSH your connection through.
To set up the tunnel, you need to execute a command in the Mac's Terminal application. Replace USER above with the username of the user on the remote server you are logging in as, this could be 'root' but it is generally safer to use an unprivileged user instead.
Replace server. Replace 22 at the end of the line above with whatever port your remote server accepts SSH connections on 22 is the default. If you want to understand what this command is doing, read on, otherwise skip to step 6. Yes, there are other, and free, ways to accomplish the same thing, but you'll spend more time setting them up and more time managing them.
Thoughtfully the developer allows you to try out the application with a single connection. Overall, if you have a need for this type of application, I'd say this is worth your money.
Go for the "Lifetime" option, as long as the developer doesn't yank support within 3 years it will be the best value. Hi baohx, As of version 1. Thank you so much for writing the review! Yang at Codinn. Great product and signed up for Pro lifetime account after using for a few hours.
