- cyphar 8y agosshuttle doesn't pass TCP over TCP, it does some work on the "local" side before sending it over TCP so it's actually just "data-over-TCP"[1]. [1]: https://sshuttle.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how-it-works.html https://sshuttle.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how-it-works.html
- e12e 8y agoCool, I wasn't aware of that. Still ends up doing udp over tcp, though.
- beagle3 8y agoBut still doesn’t do udp or ip, only let’s you connect out (not in, which is often desirable but still a limitation). Also, you lose information about where connections originate - to the recipient, it all looks like it came from the sshuttle host.
