The sshuttle
command is used to create a VPN-like connection over SSH. It forwards the network traffic through an SSH server while encrypting it, providing secure remote access to networks.
Here is a breakdown of the command you provided:
-
sshuttle
: Invokes thesshuttle
command. -
--dns
: Specifies that DNS (Domain Name System) traffic should also be forwarded via the VPN. -
--remote=${username}@${sshserver}
: Specifies the remote SSH server that will be used as the VPN endpoint.${username}
and${sshserver}
are variables that need to be replaced with the actual username and server address or hostname. -
${0-0-0-0-0}
: This seems incorrect or incomplete. In a typicalsshuttle
command, this part specifies the IP address range that needs to be forwarded. It should be replaced with the actual IP address range to define what traffic will go through the VPN. For example, it could be something like10.0.0.0/8
to forward all traffic from the 10.0.0.0 subnet.
In summary, the provided command sets up an sshuttle
VPN connection that forwards network traffic, including DNS traffic, through an SSH server. However, the ${0-0-0-0-0}
part needs to be replaced with a valid IP address range.
