sshuttle is a tool that allows you to create a VPN connection using SSH. It is useful for creating secure tunnels to access resources on remote computers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install sshuttle on OpenBSD.
Before we begin with the installation, make sure your OpenBSD system is up to date by running:
sudo pkg_add -u
To install sshuttle, follow the below steps:
Open a terminal on your OpenBSD machine.
Install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo pkg_add python3 py3-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle.git
cd sshuttle/
sudo python3 setup.py install
Once you have installed sshuttle, the next step is to use it to connect to a remote server. To use sshuttle, you need the remote server’s password or login credentials.
Here is how to use sshuttle to connect to a remote server:
sudo sshuttle -r username@remote_server 0/0 -vv
Replace username with your remote server’s username, and remote_server with the IP address or domain name of your remote server.
You will be prompted to enter the password for the remote server. Enter the password and press Enter.
Once connected, you can access any resource on the remote server as if you were on the same network.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install sshuttle on OpenBSD. We also demonstrated how to use it to create a secure VPN connection to a remote server.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
