Tools designed to help out when you're working with SSH tunnels:
- tunnels that get automatically restarted
- autossh — automatically reconnects SSH sessions and tunnels
- rstunnel — automatically reconnects SSH sessions and tunnels
- mosh — it automatically reconnects SSH sessions only (not tunnels, but I'm putting it here because it's related to the two above)
- ssh triggered from xinetd, to have a tunnel-on-demand
- semi-automatic multi-hop SSH
- apps that will semi-automatically work on top of SSH tunnels
- tightvnc — its "-via" option is the SSH username/host to proxy through (NICE!)
