SSH Tunnel with Remote Port Forwarding

This Python script uses the Paramiko library to establish an SSH tunnel for port forwarding. It can be used to securely forward traffic from a remote server to a local machine through an encrypted connection.

Features

• Configurable settings (SSH server, username, password, remote bind port, forward host, forward port, and SSH log file location)
• Settings can be provided directly within the code or loaded from a JSON file
• Logs connection and forwarding events with timestamps
• Handles multiple connections in parallel using threads

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Paramiko library

To install Paramiko, run:

pip install paramiko

Usage

1. Set your desired SSH server and port forwarding settings in the settings dictionary within the script or in a JSON file. Make sure to set the SETTING_IN_CODE variable to True if you want to use the settings defined in the script, or False if you want to load them from a JSON file.

2. Run the script:

python RemotePortForwarding.py

The script will establish an SSH connection and set up port forwarding. It will run indefinitely, accepting and handling multiple connections in parallel until interrupted.

To stop the script, press Ctrl+C.
