A simple but powerful UI for SSH port forwarding

In plain words

This tool provides a straightforward user interface for managing SSH port forwarding. It simplifies the process of setting up and controlling port forward connections without requiring command-line knowledge. The software is designed for users who regularly need to forward ports over SSH but prefer a graphical alternative to terminal commands. Its straightforward approach makes it accessible to both beginners and experienced users managing multiple forwarding configurations.

  Interactive SSH port forwarding scenarios2023 · github.com · ▲16

  Maybe some of you feel like me sometimes: I don't need SSH port forwarding very often. That's why I usually forget the exact ssh call by the time I need it. So that I no longer have to search for the correct call in the man page or on the Internet, I have implemented common scenarios interactively. Simply enter addresses, ports and user names and the result is the correct ssh call. I can simply copy it and use it.

  Public SSH Jump and Port Forwarding Server2021 · ▲22

  I've made a neat service to access SSH over NAT. Unlike ngrok and alternatives with registration, custom software, non-preserved random URLs and ports, this solution is just a remote SSH server which does not require anything more than an SSH client to both host and connect. Technically it allows to publish any service over SSH (web, proxy, any TCP port really), but only with SSH as a destination you'll preserve end-to-end encryption and won't allow my server to snoop on potentially unencrypted traffic. The service is mostly intended to give remote access to the device as fast as possible,…

  Local development with .local domains and HTTPS2023 · localcan.com · ▲84

  Hi HN! I'm Jarek, and I've built this tool that allows publishing .local domains on the local network using mDNS. It also has a reverse proxy that handles HTTPS termination and port forwarding. I'm working on adding more features, like an index page with all available domains or allowing proxy redirects, so you could redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

  ServerBuddy – GUI SSH client for managing Linux servers from macOS2025 · serverbuddy.app · ▲42

  Hi HN, I've built an app for macOS that allows performing common SSH operations on Linux servers using a native GUI. The problem: Managing multiple Linux servers usually means juggling terminal windows and copy-pasting snippets/scripts. After dealing with tens of production/staging VPSes at previous jobs, I realized there had to be a better way for common operations I did on a daily basis than my collection of bash snippets. Features: - Quickly switch between different servers. Tag servers with arbitrary key values for easy search. - Real-time dashboard with CPU/memory graphs,…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
