Allow multiple ports to be forwarded in one profile #68

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have my own personal email server, and I would like to connect to the imap 
server and smtp server through ssh without rooting my phone.

In order to accomplish this, I have to be able to have two port forwards active 
simultaneously. I currently forward 2143 to localhost 143 and configure K-9 to 
connect to the imap server on localhost:2143. This works for imap, but then I 
have no smtp forward. I would like both at the same time.

Yes,we need it and like it.
Any workaround/tips to make it work with multi ports connection right now?
Thank you.

I would love this as well! Would make life much easier. Are there any 
workarounds at the moment?

Would love to have this, too.

I have found SPT to actually serve my needs better in this regard. It also 
handles reconnects when the tunnel goes down much better than sshtunnel does.

Unlike sshtunnel, SPT does not have the goal of proxying everything your phone 
does through ssh. So if that's what you need, SPT won't do that and likely 
never will.

To be able to forward multiple ports would be really an important feature. I 
also miss reverse port forwarding.

@omnifari: since SPT is not open source, it's not a real alternative.

SPT is, in fact, Open Source:

I suspect what's going on here is the conflation of 'no monetary cost' with 
'open source'. And those two aren't the same. SPT is available in fully 
compiled form from the Android store only if you pay a fairly small amount of 
money. But the source is available to all.

Personally, I commend the author for realizing he can ask for compensation even 
if his program is Open Source. I wish that would happen more often. It would 
put more dents in the mistaken idea that Free Software cannot be commercial.

I was wondering if there has been done any work since last comment last year. I 
have an mpd server I would like to forward to my phone, and it needs 2 ports to 
be forwarded.
