I tried many solutions like SSH tunnel managers, but all were inconvinient for me: too many configuration screens, sometimes buggy (one time SSH tunnel manager purged all! settings I had! So I had to restore settings for all 30 tunnels). ![]() ![]() I did find this question: How to reliably keep an SSH tunnel open?, but that's using Linux as the SSH client, and I'm using Windows. I'm planning on making a dedicated user with no privileges and not allowed to interactively log in, and use that.) (Yes, I am aware of the hazards of automatically logging in to SSH. The two tunnels are one local tunnel, and one remote tunnel. The data I'm sending across the two tunnels is VNC connections, so I often won't be at the machine to clear errors and enter passwords. What I'd like to do is have an application that can set up the two SSH tunnels, and can automatically reconnect, without needing to manually do anything, including enter a password. This works well, except when the SSH connection drops: PuTTY displays an error message, and I need to manually close the error and reconnect to the server. ![]() I'm trying to set up a Windows computer to always have two SSH tunnels to my Linux server.Ĭurrently, I'm using PuTTY to open the two SSH tunnels: I log in to the server in PuTTY, leave it minimized, and never touch it.
