tunnelkeeper

TunnelKeeper keeps SSH tunnels open

Install it as a service with tunnelkeeper install.

Edit the config file /opt/tunnelkeeper/etc/tunnelkeeper.conf. If you make changes to tunnelkeeper.conf, run systemctl restart tunnelkeeper.

There are 3 sections:

settings

• debug [0..3]: Debug logging levels 0 (no logging) to 3 (too much logging)

ssh

• It's an ssh config file, so see man ssh_config for information. TunnelKeeper will connect to each host listed, and make sure every connection in tunnelkeeper.conf stays open in the background.

passwords

• host password: Passwords of the hosts in the ssh section. They are stored in plaintext, so don't use it if you can avoid it.
