Persistent SSH Tunnel

Similarly to VPN connections, SSH or Secure Shell is a secure and encrypted connection that can get your SSH client to act as a SOCKS proxy. Perhaps the most significant advantage of a SOCKS tunneling stems from the fact even the DNS requests are made from the server and hence, it is almost impossible for anyone in your LAN to gather information about the content being accessed.

Despite their security and usefulness, a widespread issue with SSH tunnels is that when the connection is lost, the tunnel is also disconnected. Since they do not pack a reconnection feature, it means that you need to configure the entire system all over again.

Persistent SSH Tunnel is a straightforward application designed to provide a solution to disconnected tunnels. More precisely, the role of the program is to keep the SSH tunnels up and running by performing automatic restarts each time they are disconnected.

Not only are the restarts performed until the attempts are successful, but you do not need to bother with configuration or logons, as the tool works similarly to a Windows service. Then again, if you need to monitor specific tunnels or configure addresses or credentials, then you can do so by using any modern browser.
