-Additional Suggested Software
------------------------------
-
-- You may want to use autossh, available in various package management
- systems
-
-
-Additional information for TPROXY
----------------------------------
-TPROXY is the only method that supports full support of IPv6 and UDP.
-
-Full UDP or DNS support with the TPROXY method requires the ``recvmsg()``
-syscall. This is not available in Python 2, however is in Python 3.5 and
-later. Under Python 2 you might find it sufficient installing PyXAPI_ to get
-the ``recvmsg()`` function.
-
-There are some things you need to consider for TPROXY to work:
-
-- The following commands need to be run first as root. This only needs to be
- done once after booting up::
-
- ip route add local default dev lo table 100
- ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100
- ip -6 route add local default dev lo table 100
- ip -6 rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100
-
-- The ``--auto-nets`` feature does not detect IPv6 routes automatically. Add IPv6
- routes manually. e.g. by adding ``'::/0'`` to the end of the command line.
-
-- The client needs to be run as root. e.g.::
-
- sudo SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" $HOME/tree/sshuttle.tproxy/sshuttle --method=tproxy ...
-
-- You may need to exclude the IP address of the server you are connecting to.
- Otherwise sshuttle may attempt to intercept the ssh packets, which will not
- work. Use the ``--exclude`` parameter for this.
-
-- Similarly, UDP return packets (including DNS) could get intercepted and
- bounced back. This is the case if you have a broad subnet such as
- ``0.0.0.0/0`` or ``::/0`` that includes the IP address of the client. Use the
- ``--exclude`` parameter for this.
-
-- You need the ``--method=tproxy`` parameter, as above.
-
-- The routes for the outgoing packets must already exist. For example, if your
- connection does not have IPv6 support, no IPv6 routes will exist, IPv6
- packets will not be generated and sshuttle cannot intercept them::
-
- telnet -6 www.google.com 80
- Trying 2404:6800:4001:805::1010...
- telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
-
- Add some dummy routes to external interfaces. Make sure they get removed
- however after sshuttle exits.

Obtaining sshuttle
------------------
@@ -122,145 +39,9 @@ Obtaining sshuttle
./setup.py install
-Usage
------
-
-- Forward all traffic::
-
- sshuttle -r username@sshserver 0.0.0.0/0
-
-- By default sshuttle will automatically choose a method to use. Override with
- the ``--method=`` parameter.
-
-- There is a shortcut for 0.0.0.0/0 for those that value
- their wrists::
-
- sshuttle -r username@sshserver 0/0
-
-- If you would also like your DNS queries to be proxied
- through the DNS server of the server you are connect to::
-
- sshuttle --dns -r username@sshserver 0/0
-
- The above is probably what you want to use to prevent
- local network attacks such as Firesheep and friends.
-
-(You may be prompted for one or more passwords; first, the local password to
-become root using sudo, and then the remote ssh password. Or you might have
-sudo and ssh set up to not require passwords, in which case you won't be
-prompted at all.)
-
-
-Usage Notes
------------
-
-That's it! Now your local machine can access the remote network as if you
-were right there. And if your "client" machine is a router, everyone on
-your local network can make connections to your remote network.
-
-You don't need to install sshuttle on the remote server;
-the remote server just needs to have python available.
-sshuttle will automatically upload and run its source code
-to the remote python interpreter.
-
-This creates a transparent proxy server on your local machine for all IP
-addresses that match 0.0.0.0/0. (You can use more specific IP addresses if
-you want; use any number of IP addresses or subnets to change which
-addresses get proxied. Using 0.0.0.0/0 proxies *everything*, which is
-interesting if you don't trust the people on your local network.)
-
-Any TCP session you initiate to one of the proxied IP addresses will be
-captured by sshuttle and sent over an ssh session to the remote copy of
-sshuttle, which will then regenerate the connection on that end, and funnel
-the data back and forth through ssh.
-
-Fun, right? A poor man's instant VPN, and you don't even have to have
-admin access on the server.

-
-Theory of Operation
--------------------
-
-sshuttle is not exactly a VPN, and not exactly port forwarding. It's kind
-of both, and kind of neither.
-
-It's like a VPN, since it can forward every port on an entire network, not
-just ports you specify. Conveniently, it lets you use the "real" IP
-addresses of each host rather than faking port numbers on localhost.
-
-On the other hand, the way it *works* is more like ssh port forwarding than
-a VPN. Normally, a VPN forwards your data one packet at a time, and
-doesn't care about individual connections; ie. it's "stateless" with respect
-to the traffic. sshuttle is the opposite of stateless; it tracks every
-single connection.
-
-You could compare sshuttle to something like the old `Slirp
-<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slirp>`_ program, which was a userspace TCP/IP
-implementation that did something similar. But it operated on a
-packet-by-packet basis on the client side, reassembling the packets on the
-server side. That worked okay back in the "real live serial port" days,
-because serial ports had predictable latency and buffering.
-
-But you can't safely just forward TCP packets over a TCP session (like ssh),
-because TCP's performance depends fundamentally on packet loss; it
-*must* experience packet loss in order to know when to slow down! At
-the same time, the outer TCP session (ssh, in this case) is a reliable
-transport, which means that what you forward through the tunnel *never*
-experiences packet loss. The ssh session itself experiences packet loss, of
-course, but TCP fixes it up and ssh (and thus you) never know the
-difference. But neither does your inner TCP session, and extremely screwy
-performance ensues.
-
-sshuttle assembles the TCP stream locally, multiplexes it statefully over
-an ssh session, and disassembles it back into packets at the other end. So
-it never ends up doing TCP-over-TCP. It's just data-over-TCP, which is
-safe.
-Useless Trivia
---------------
-This section written by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@gmail.com>.
-Back in 1998 (12 years ago! Yikes!), I released the first version of `Tunnel
-Vision <http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?TunnelVisionReadMe>`_, a semi-intelligent VPN
-client for Linux. Unfortunately, I made two big mistakes: I implemented the
-key exchange myself (oops), and I ended up doing TCP-over-TCP (double oops).
-The resulting program worked okay - and people used it for years - but the
-performance was always a bit funny. And nobody ever found any security flaws
-in my key exchange, either, but that doesn't mean anything. :)
-The same year, dcoombs and I also released Fast Forward, a proxy server
-supporting transparent proxying. Among other things, we used it for
-automatically splitting traffic across more than one Internet connection (a
-tool we called "Double Vision").
-I was still in university at the time. A couple years after that, one of my
-professors was working with some graduate students on the technology that would
-eventually become `Slipstream Internet Acceleration
-<http://www.slipstream.com/>`_. He asked me to do a contract for him to build
-an initial prototype of a transparent proxy server for mobile networks. The
-idea was similar to sshuttle: if you reassemble and then disassemble the TCP
-packets, you can reduce latency and improve performance vs. just forwarding
-the packets over a plain VPN or mobile network. (It's unlikely that any of my
-code has persisted in the Slipstream product today, but the concept is still
-pretty cool. I'm still horrified that people use plain TCP on complex mobile
-networks with crazily variable latency, for which it was never really
-intended.)
-That project I did for Slipstream was what first gave me the idea to merge
-the concepts of Fast Forward, Double Vision, and Tunnel Vision into a single
-program that was the best of all worlds. And here we are, at last, 10 years
-later. You're welcome.

+How it works
+============
+sshuttle is not exactly a VPN, and not exactly port forwarding. It's kind
+of both, and kind of neither.
+
+It's like a VPN, since it can forward every port on an entire network, not
+just ports you specify. Conveniently, it lets you use the "real" IP
+addresses of each host rather than faking port numbers on localhost.
+
+On the other hand, the way it *works* is more like ssh port forwarding than
+a VPN. Normally, a VPN forwards your data one packet at a time, and
+doesn't care about individual connections; ie. it's "stateless" with respect
+to the traffic. sshuttle is the opposite of stateless; it tracks every
+single connection.
+
+You could compare sshuttle to something like the old `Slirp
+<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slirp>`_ program, which was a userspace TCP/IP
+implementation that did something similar. But it operated on a
+packet-by-packet basis on the client side, reassembling the packets on the
+server side. That worked okay back in the "real live serial port" days,
+because serial ports had predictable latency and buffering.
+
+But you can't safely just forward TCP packets over a TCP session (like ssh),
+because TCP's performance depends fundamentally on packet loss; it
+*must* experience packet loss in order to know when to slow down! At
+the same time, the outer TCP session (ssh, in this case) is a reliable
+transport, which means that what you forward through the tunnel *never*
+experiences packet loss. The ssh session itself experiences packet loss, of
+course, but TCP fixes it up and ssh (and thus you) never know the
+difference. But neither does your inner TCP session, and extremely screwy
+performance ensues.
+
+sshuttle assembles the TCP stream locally, multiplexes it statefully over
+an ssh session, and disassembles it back into packets at the other end. So
+it never ends up doing TCP-over-TCP. It's just data-over-TCP, which is
+safe.
