Yes, it sounds a lot like a SOCKS proxy. However, what sshuttle does is listen on a port, creates an iptables chain and redirect all outgoing TCP/IP and DNS traffic to this port securely through a SSH session. So, it is more featureful than -D flag of ssh. It is a very useful tool for untrusted LANs since you can tunnel almost all your traffic to a trusted host and not just web traffic through the SOCKS feature. Please take a look at https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle. sshuttle is already in Debian as I found out after I filed this ITP. -- Miguel Landaeta, miguel at miguel.cc secure email with PGP 0x7D8967E9 available at http://keyserver.pgp.com/ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." -- Nietzsche -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
