sshuttle is a VPN-like tool for SSH that allows us to create secure tunnels between two computers for safe communication. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install sshuttle on Void Linux.
Before we proceed with the installation of sshuttle, we need to ensure that our system is up-to-date:
sudo xbps-install -Su
Now, we can proceed with the installation of sshuttle:
sudo xbps-install -S sshuttle
Once the installation is complete, we can verify the installed version by running the following command:
sshuttle --version
sshuttle is now installed on our system, and we can start using it to create secure tunnels between two computers. Here is a simple example of how to use sshuttle:
sshuttle -r user@ssh_server 0/0
This command will connect to the remote SSH server ssh_server as the user named user and will forward internet traffic to and from your local machine to the remote network using that SSH connection.
You can replace 0/0 with the IP address range you want to connect to. For example:
sshuttle -r user@ssh_server 192.168.1.0/24
This command will forward internet traffic only to and from the IP address range 192.168.1.0/24.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install sshuttle on Void Linux and how to use it to create secure tunnels between two computers. You can now use sshuttle to safely communicate with remote computers.
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!
