How to Install sshuttle on Windows 10

sshuttle is a tool that allows you to create a VPN-like connection between two computers over SSH. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install sshuttle on Windows 10.

Prerequisites

• A Windows 10 computer
• A remote computer with SSH access

Step 1: Install Python

sshuttle requires Python to run. If you don't have Python installed on your computer, you can download it from the official website at https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.

After downloading the installer, run it and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 2: Install sshuttle

Now that we have Python installed, we can proceed to install sshuttle.

2. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter to install sshuttle using pip:

   pip install sshuttle
   

   Wait for the installation to complete.

Step 3: Connect to the Remote Computer

To use sshuttle, we need to connect to a remote computer over SSH. We can use the built-in SSH client in Windows 10 for this.

1. Open the Command Prompt.

2. Type the following command and press Enter to connect to the remote computer:

   ssh username@remote-computer-address
   

   Replace "username" with your remote computer's username and "remote-computer-address" with the IP address or domain name of the remote computer.

3. Enter your remote computer's password when prompted.

Step 4: Use sshuttle

Now that we have connected to the remote computer over SSH, we can use sshuttle to create a VPN-like connection.

1. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter to start the sshuttle connection:

   sshuttle -r username@remote-computer-address 0.0.0.0/0
   

   Replace "username" with your remote computer's username and "remote-computer-address" with the IP address or domain name of the remote computer.

2. Enter your remote computer's password when prompted.

3. sshuttle will now create a VPN-like connection between your computer and the remote computer over SSH. All of your network traffic will be routed through this connection.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed sshuttle on Windows 10 and created a VPN-like connection over SSH. You can now use this connection to access remote resources securely.
