sshuttle is a VPN-like tool that allows you to tunnel traffic through an SSH session. It is a useful tool for bypassing network restrictions and accessing resources that would otherwise be unavailable. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing sshuttle on POP! OS.
Before we start, you need to have:
First, we need to install the dependencies required to build and install sshuttle.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-dev build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev
Next, we will download and install sshuttle from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle.git
cd sshuttle
sudo python3 setup.py install
This will download the latest version of sshuttle from GitHub and compile it on your system.
After the installation is complete, you can verify the sshuttle installation by running the following command:
sshuttle --version
This command will display the version of sshuttle that is installed on your system.
To use sshuttle, you need to have an SSH server to connect to. You can use an existing SSH server or set up a new one.
Once you have an SSH server, you can use sshuttle to tunnel traffic through it. For example, the following command will tunnel all traffic from your local machine through the SSH server:
sudo sshuttle -r username@ssh_server_ip 0.0.0.0/0
This will route all your internet traffic through the SSH server, effectively creating a VPN-like connection.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install sshuttle on POP! OS. sshuttle is a useful tool for bypassing network restrictions and accessing resources that would otherwise be unavailable. Make sure to use it with caution, as it can potentially violate network policies and breach security protocols.
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!
