What is AutoSSH?¶
AutoSSH is a program to start a copy of SSH and monitor it, restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic. It's particularly useful for maintaining persistent SSH tunnels and port forwarding connections.
Key Benefits¶
- Persistent Connections: Automatically restarts SSH connections if they fail
- Port Forwarding: Create secure tunnels for accessing remote services
- Monitoring: Built-in connection monitoring and health checks
- Reliability: Handles network interruptions gracefully
Common Use Cases¶
- Access internal services through a bastion host
- Secure database connections
- Remote development environments
- Bypassing network restrictions securely
