Why not just use OpenVPN? It's just as simple (if not simpler) to setup and considerably more powerful. An OpenVPN server can go from zero to done in under 5

An OpenVPN server can go from zero to done in under 5 minutes (for HN readers, less) with a Docker container: https://github.com/kylemanna/github https://github.com/kylemanna/github
- X-Istence 11y agoThat might work if you have root on the system you are connecting to, but in a lot of cases you might not. In a corporate scenario sshuttle has been life saver because it makes it simple to make networks behind a jump server look and feel like they are just a router hop away. This makes using stuff like VMWare easier since it usually requires direct access to the hosts on various different ports and makes it difficult to set up port forwarding.
