Sshuttle is awesome. Comparing the ease of use to openvpn, it's night and day..
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoIndeed I was looking to create a VPN and found it complicated - saw sshuttle and found it awesomely easy (blog post about it http://alicious.com/cheap-vpn-using-sshuttle/ http://alicious.com/cheap-vpn-using-sshuttle/ [has aff links in post]). My commandline was: sshuttle –dns -rv root@128.199.xxx.xxx 0/0 –exclude 192.168.0.0/9 # start sshuttle -dns routes dns requests over the link -rv remote server details (v for verbose output) -exclude to not send traffic from local addresses over the link (not sure if this is required)
- deanclatworthy 11y agoI've found performance (bandwidth) on sshuttle to be poorer than OpenVPN.
- LawnGnome 11y agoIt's definitely below what you get with a true VPN, but it's a great option when combined with an SSH server listening on port 443 to get any kind of "VPN" on a locked down network (like most airport WiFi, for example).
- scandox 11y agoI wrote a guide on using Softener VPN which I found much easier to use than other VPN software: http://www.selectedintelligence.com/post/128701492804/softether http://www.selectedintelligence.com/post/128701492804/softet... Our prototype used autossh actually but later we needed something a bit easier to manage. Disclaimer: I am not a networking or security expert.
