chisel: Connect to a Chisel server using username and password authentication.
$ chisel client --auth ${username}:${password} ${server_ip}:${server_port} ${local_port}:${remote_server}:${remote_port}
try on your machine

This command is used to create a secure tunnel between a client machine and a remote server using the Chisel tool. Chisel is a networking tool that enables secure tunneling of TCP connections over HTTP and allows users to securely access services on remote servers.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

chisel client - This initiates the Chisel client.

--auth ${username}:${password} - This specifies the authentication credentials to be used for connecting to the remote server. ${username} and ${password} should be replaced with the actual username and password.

${server_ip}:${server_port} - This specifies the IP address and port number of the remote server that the client wants to connect to.

${local_port}:${remote_server}:${remote_port} - This specifies the mapping of local and remote ports. ${local_port} is the port number on the client machine that will be used to establish the tunnel, while ${remote_server}:${remote_port} determines the address and port number of the service running on the remote server that the client wants to access.

Overall, this command will establish a chisel client on the client machine, authenticate with the specified username and password, and create a secure tunnel between the local port and the service running on the remote server's address and port.
