CTunnel

A continuation of Reliable SSH Tunnel, forked from RSTunnel but I want simply deployment.

I like use ssh config to control SSH Tunnel, so I alter RSTunnel, just use simple config for ssh.

The code of CTunnel have many snip from RSTunnel, now just worked. But I will improve it.

How to use CTunnel

• put ctunnel to ~/bin/

mkdir ~/bin
cp ctunnel ~/bin/

• ~/.ssh/config.myserver ( myserver is the "Host" in config )

cp config.myserver.example ~/.ssh/config.myserver 

• add config.myserver include in ~/.ssh/config

echo "Include ~/.ssh/config.myserver" >> ~/.ssh/config

• please change config to your env:

  • Host
  • HostName
  • LocalForward
  • RemoteForward

• create a SSH RSA key without password:

mkdir -p ~/.ssh/no_pw
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/no_pw/id_rsa

please not use password to protect id_rsa

• add a crontab to run ctunnel every minutes:

crontab -e

add follow line:

* * * * * /home/admin/bin/ctunnel

ToDo

• Now just work, but I need add help and options
