ssh: Use the tproxy method to forward all IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

sshuttle

$ sshuttle --method=tproxy --remote=${username}@${sshserver} ${0-0-0-0-0} ${::-0} --exclude=${your_local_ip_address} --exclude=${ssh_server_ip_address}

The given command is using the SSHuttle tool to establish a VPN-like connection over SSH. Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

sshuttle: It is the command that executes the SSHuttle tool.
--method=tproxy: This option specifies the method to be used for forwarding network traffic. tproxy is a routing method that intercepts outbound connections and redirects them to the SSH server.
--remote=${username}@${sshserver}: It sets the remote SSH server to connect to. ${username} and ${sshserver} are variables that should be replaced with the desired username and SSH server's address.
${0-0-0-0-0} ${::-0}: These arguments specify what IP ranges should be tunneled through the SSH connection. ${0-0-0-0-0} means all IPv4 addresses, and ${::-0} means all IPv6 addresses.
--exclude=${your_local_ip_address} --exclude=${ssh_server_ip_address}: These options exclude specific IP addresses or IP ranges from being tunneled. ${your_local_ip_address} and ${ssh_server_ip_address} should be replaced with the corresponding IP addresses that you want to exclude from the tunnel.

In summary, the command establishes an SSH tunnel using SSHuttle with the tproxy method, directs all network traffic through the SSH server, excludes specific IP addresses from being tunneled, and connects to the SSH server using the provided username and SSH server address.
