What problem does it solve?

Open a local SSH port forward using ssh -L to access a remote service from your local machine, without exposing the remote service publicly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local port forwarding with ssh -L to reach private services behind a bastion or SSH host.
  • Reach databases (e.g., Postgres), internal dashboards, or private APIs from a laptop or dev machine.
  • Use-case: connect to a private Postgres instance from your workstation through a bastion.

Quick Start

Run the open-local-forward.sh script with SSH_HOST, SSH_LOCAL_PORT, SSH_DEST_HOST, and SSH_DEST_PORT to start the tunnel.
