A simple SSH VPN client

In plain words

A simple SSH VPN client is an open-source tool launched in 2017 that allows users to create virtual private network connections through SSH protocols. It is designed for people who need secure, encrypted network access without complex configuration. The software emphasizes simplicity, making it accessible to users who want straightforward VPN functionality based on established SSH technology rather than specialized VPN protocols.
