SSH tunnel and jump-host builder

Build a one-off ssh command and a reusable ~/.ssh/config block for direct access, bastion hops, local forwards, reverse tunnels, and dynamic SOCKS proxies.

Connection details

Target search intent: ssh tunnel command example, ssh jump host config example, ssh local port forwarding, and ssh SOCKS proxy setup.

Why this page is useful

  • Local forwarding exposes a service on your machine while the remote side stays private.
  • Remote forwarding publishes one of your local ports on the remote side.
  • Dynamic mode builds a SOCKS proxy for browser or tool traffic.
  • Jump-host mode turns a one-off bastion command into a reusable alias and ProxyJump block.

This is meant to bridge the gap between terse man pages and copy-paste blog snippets that only cover one variant.
