-----------------------+--------------------------------
 Transparent proxy server that works as a poor man's VPN. Forwards over
 ssh. Doesn't require admin. Works with Linux and MacOS. Supports DNS
 tunneling.

 From readme file:[[BR]]
 As far as I know, sshuttle is the only program that solves the following
 common case:[[BR]]
 Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS.[[BR]]
 You have access to a remote network via ssh.[[BR]]
 You don't necessarily have admin access on the remote network.[[BR]]
 The remote network has no VPN, or only stupid/complex VPN protocols
 (IPsec, PPTP, etc). Or maybe you are the admin and you just got frustrated
 with the awful state of VPN tools.[[BR]]
 You don't want to create an ssh port forward for every single host/port on
 the remote network.[[BR]]
 You hate openssh's port forwarding because it's randomly slow and/or
 stupid.[[BR]]
 You can't use openssh's PermitTunnel feature because it's disabled by
 default on openssh servers; plus it does TCP-over-TCP, which has terrible
 performance (see below).
