simplesshtun is a Go package that provides a SSH tunnel with port forwarding supporting:
- TCP and unix socket connections
- Password authentication
- Un/encrypted key file authentication
ssh-agent
based authentication
By default it reads the default linux ssh private key location $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
and fallbacks to using ssh-agent
, but a specific authentication method can be set.
