How-To: SSH tunnels for secure network access {Engadget}
Mar 21st 2006 7:22PM I have had better luck with AlmostVPN(), than with SSH Tunnel Manager. Installs as a preference pane and includes a menubar application as well as a Widget to control host connections. Just a satisfied user. Here is their blub:
AlmostVPN is an ssh tunnel management application with a twist. This is what makes AlmostVPN different:
it packaged as Preference Panel, so you do not have to use yet another application to configure your tunnels
it employs launchd to control tunnels, so you do not have to have yet another application running while tunneling
it uses creative network configuration techniques to provide almost VPN like access to remote services, so you can keep using real IP addresses and port numbers while accessing service on the other side of your tunnels.
it provides simple way to mount remote volumes via SSH tunnel
it can import tunnel definitions from SSH Tunnel Manager and SSHKeychain applications
