SSH Tunnel Manager

Your tunnels, one click away.

Save the database, dashboard and SOCKS tunnels you type every morning. Switch them on from the tray; they stay up through Wi-Fi drops and sleep, and tell you when they need you.

Free for 2 tunnels · Windows 10 and 11 · English and Vietnamese
Three tunnels: one up for three hours, one reconnecting, one off
Editing a tunnel: server, key file, jump host and forwards

Why it is different

Local, remote and SOCKS

-L to reach a database, -R to share a local port, -D for a SOCKS5 proxy. Several forwards on one connection.

Stays up by itself

Keepalives notice a dead connection; it reconnects after 1, 2, 4… up to 30 seconds, and starts over once it is healthy.

Tells you what is wrong

Wrong password, missing key, port already used by another program, server unreachable: each says so plainly.

Host keys checked

Uses your known_hosts. A new server shows its fingerprint first; a changed key is refused, never accepted silently.

Your keys and agent

The Windows OpenSSH agent, key files with passphrases, or passwords kept in Windows Credential Manager.

Import ~/.ssh/config

Hosts with LocalForward, RemoteForward, DynamicForward and ProxyJump become tunnels in one step.

A first connection asks you to check the server's fingerprint

Safe by default

Forwards listen on 127.0.0.1 unless you choose otherwise. Keys you accept are written to the app's own known_hosts; your ~/.ssh files are only read.
