sshuttle is a tool that allows you to create a VPN-like connection between your computer and a remote server using only SSH. It can be used to encrypt your internet traffic and bypass firewalls and internet censorship.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install sshuttle on Windows 11.
Before installing sshuttle, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Windows 11 computer:
If you don't have Python 3 or Pip installed, you can download the latest version of Python from the official Python website and install it on your computer. Pip is usually installed automatically with Python. If it's not, you can install it using the following command:
python -m ensurepip --default-pip
To install sshuttle on Windows 11, follow these steps:
Open a command prompt by pressing the Windows Key + X and selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" from the list.
Run the following command to install sshuttle using Pip:
pip install sshuttle
After the installation is complete, you can verify that sshuttle is installed by running the following command:
sshuttle --version
This should print the version number of sshuttle.
Now that you have sshuttle installed on your Windows 11 computer, you can use it to create a VPN-like connection to a remote server using SSH. Here's how to use sshuttle:
Open a command prompt and run the following command to create a VPN-like connection to a remote server:
sshuttle -r user@server 0.0.0.0/0
Replace user with your remote server username and server with the IP address or hostname of your remote server.
This command will route all your internet traffic through your remote server.
To stop sshuttle and restore your internet connection, press Ctrl + C.
That's it! You have successfully installed and used sshuttle on Windows 11.
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!
