tag autossh

Just a quick note on setting up autossh on system’s startup. I use it to proxy-forward traffic from the internet exposed host to a firewalled host inside a private network. This way all the data and apps stay on-prem but are available to external users if needed. autossh advantage is that it restart ssh in case connection breaks for some reason. It’s important to configure it in a way so that it can detect such breakdowns.
