The MyEnTunnel application was designed to be a simple system tray tool (or NT service) that establishes and maintains TCP SSH tunnels. It does this by launching Plink (PuTTY Link) in the background and then monitors the process.
If the Plink process dies (e.g. connection drops, server restarts or otherwise becomes unreachable) MyEnTunnel will automatically restart Plink to reestablish the tunnels in the background. It tries to use as little CPU and system resources as possible when monitoring (When the "Slow Polling" option is enabled it only does one context switch per second).
Since it uses Plink, you can use the utilities Pageant (a SSH authentication agent for PuTTY, PSCP and Plink) and PuTTYgen (a RSA and DSA key generation utility), as well as named PuTTY sessions. All of the networking and encryption is done by plink.exe;not by MyEnTunnel.
Options:
Connect on Startup - Launch plink and establish connection when application is loaded Enable Slow Polling - Sets monitor loop to once a second to lower CPU usage (Note: slows down GUI response)
Enable Compression - Enable zlib link compression
Reconnect on Failure - Try up to 6 attempts to maintain tunnel every N (user defineable) seconds
Infinite Retry Attempts - Always attempt to maintain tunnel
Retry Delay - Number of seconds to wait between reconnection attempts
Use Private Keyfile - Enable public/private key pair authentication
Enable Dynamic SOCKS - Enable dynamic SOCKS support
Verbose Logging - Show all plink.exe messages in status window
Hide Port Connections - Squelch port open/close messages in status window
Disable Notifications - Disables notification popups (Handy when using it on a laptop)
