SSH tunnel daemon for Windows

Question

For some reason I need to access the Internet through a SSH tunnel connection. The way I do it now is to open Putty and load a tunnel profile.

Since I will need tunneling all the time, is there a program that satisfies the following?

• establish a SSH tunnel
• run in the background; I don't need to interact with the terminal
• lightweight, like Putty
• auto login

Answer 1

Take a look at plink, made by the putty developers.

Answer 2

I use bitvise tunnelier along with Proxifier, they work great.

Answer 3

Have a look at MyEnTunnel, it uses plink and can run as a Windows service.
