SShuttle

What are your thoughts on this program?

I think it's nice to be able to use things such as the --dns flag and 0/0 for all connections the dns flag makes sure you don't leak any dns queries.

Possibly just as good/better than tor?

Link for the lazy?

I'm on it, and a vid too!

If you want to get hands on with it just run:

Code: Select all: git clone git://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle

Check it out...

Just reading the description I'm sold. I'll try it out.

Don't see how this is like tor at all. This is just for tunneling your traffic to a remote place but it doesn't keep you anonymous. Tor is a completely different beast.

Let me re-word my op.
It is possibly better than tor in some ways. Such as it does not leak any dns queries.
It is like a VPN with port forwarding in a sense.
Each have their advantages.

That is not true.

Maybe I don't understand it, how does it keep you anonymous? It's just a tunnel am I right?

Yes, it is a tunnel but it can also foward every port to the remote host.
This will mask your IP to the remote host's, for every port, as well as prevent dns leaking.

i.e.
(replace root@IP with your VPS / Remote host's IP)
./sshuttle --dns --vvr root@IP 0/0 -vv

Authenticate credentials to the remote host, and it begins forwarding all your traffic to the remote host automatically.
Do an IP lookup and it will be the Remote Host's.
This works for all ports.

So it's not anonymous. You still have to login on the remote host, and I assume you leave a mark/log of your presence on the remote host. Tor gives you complete anonymity (practically).

True, but you can easily go
You > Proxy/VPN > Sshuttle
then kill the proxy/VPN if you wished.
It isn't suppossed to keep you anonymous to the remote host, but everything you connect to afterwards.
Assuming you are the owner of the remote host, you could easily destroy all the log files anyway, right?
It's simply an alternative that helps keep your DNS tight imo.
