I love sshuttle. You can point it at any ssh server (that has python installed on it) and you don't need any special privileges on the remote end. One problem is that it does not support DNS tunneling if FreeBSD is your client.[1] Item: we (rsync.net) would be willing to pay for development that gets sshuttle to work properly and bulletproof on FreeBSD. In fact, we would be willing to pay for sshuttle development in general. Email us.[2] Also, what is up with this new fork ... which speaks from the original authors point of view and, in fact, has his own personal notes cut and pasted into the README. In fact, the contact information is the original author - Avery Pennarun apenwarr@gmail.com - what's going on here ? [1] No, the note about IPFIREWALL_FORWARD does not fix this problem. [2] info@rsync.net

If you fork on github, you get the README with your fork. You have to actually go and edit it for it to be different.

  Right, sure - but given that the readme has the authors personal backstory and his name and email, it surprises me that the forks author did not fix that up.

sshuttle is really cool, except both macs I've run it on would have weird system crashes while running it. I ended up creating a proper VPN via a microtik router and have enjoyed the superior performance compared to sshuttle, though it was several orders of magnitude more effort to get going! sshuttle was almost too easy to get up and running :)

  A python script should not be able to make your Mac crash (depending on what you mean by "weird system crash"). If it actually causes a hard crash, that likely either points to a weird hardware/software problem on your system, or it's a bug that Apple would like to know about if they don't already.

    Using it consistently produced hard system freezes.
