# SSH Auto Port Forwarder
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
Automatically detect and forward ports from a remote SSH server to your local machine. Similar to VS Code's port forwarding feature, but fully automatic.
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+

|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
## Features
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
- Interactive TUI dashboard - View and manage tunnels in real-time
|
|
29
|
+
- Automatically discovers listening ports on the remote server
|
|
30
|
+
- Shows process names for each forwarded port
|
|
31
|
+
- Forwards ports to your local machine via SSH tunneling
|
|
32
|
+
- Handles port conflicts by finding alternative local ports
|
|
33
|
+
- Auto-detects new ports and starts forwarding
|
|
34
|
+
- Auto-detects closed ports and stops forwarding
|
|
35
|
+
- Reads connection details from your SSH config
|
|
36
|
+
- Skips well-known ports (< 1000) by default
|
|
37
|
+
- Configurable max auto-forward port (default: 10000)

```bash
|
|
107
|
+
# Dashboard mode (default)
|
|
108
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
# CLI mode
|
|

|
|
116
|
+
# Use specific port range
|
|
117
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner -p 4000:9000
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
# Skip specific ports
|
|
120
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner -s 22,80,443
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
# Verbose mode
|
|
123
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner -v
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
# Only auto-forward ports up to 5000 (higher ports shown but not auto-forwarded)
|
|
126
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner -m 5000
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
# Include ports already forwarded via SSH config LocalForward
|
|
129
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner --include-configs
|
|
130
|
+
```
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
## Performance
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
Throughput is 150-190 MB/s for large file transfers (45-70% of native `ssh -L`). HTML page latency is 2-3 ms median at up to 10 req/s with zero failures. The overhead comes from paramiko (Python) vs OpenSSH (C) - negligible for interactive use like web browsing.
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
See [benchmarks/](benchmarks/) for full methodology and results.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
## How it works
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
1. Connects to your remote server using your SSH config
|
|
141
|
+
2. Runs `ss -tlnp` on the remote to find listening ports
|
|
142
|
+
3. Creates SSH tunnels for each discovered port
|
|
143
|
+
4. Continuously monitors for new/closed ports
|
|
144
|
+
5. Handles port conflicts on your local machine
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
### SSH Config Integration
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
The tool reads your SSH config file (`~/.ssh/config`) for connection details. It also respects `LocalForward` directives:
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
```ssh
|
|
151
|
+
Host myserver
|
|
152
|
+
HostName example.com
|
|
153
|
+
User myuser
|
|
154
|
+
LocalForward 8080 localhost:8080 # This port is excluded by default
|
|
155
|
+
LocalForward 3000 localhost:3000
|
|
156
|
+
```
|
|
157
|
+
|
|
158
|
+
By default, ports that are already forwarded via `LocalForward` are **excluded** from the dashboard list since they're handled by SSH itself. Use `--include-configs` to show them.

## Testing
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
Start a test server on your remote machine:
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
```bash
|
|
175
|
+
ssh hetzner "python3 -m http.server 9999 --bind 127.0.0.1 &"
|
|
176
|
+
```
|
|
177
|
+
|
|
178
|
+
Then run `ssh-auto-forward hetzner` and access it locally:
|
|
179
|
+
|
|
180
|
+
```bash
|
|
181
|
+
curl http://localhost:9999/
|
|
182
|
+
```
|
|
183
|
+
|
|
184
|
+
## Stopping
|
|
185
|
+
|
|
186
|
+
- Dashboard: Press `Q`
|
|
187
|
+
- CLI mode: Press `Ctrl+C`
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
## Requirements
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
- Python 3.10+
|
|
192
|
+
- paramiko
|
|
193
|
+
- textual (for TUI dashboard)
|
|
194
|
+
- Remote server must have `ss` or `netstat` command available
|
|
195
|
+
|
|
196
|
+
## Tests
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
### Unit tests (run locally, no SSH required):
|
|
199
|
+
|
|
200
|
+
```bash
|
|
201
|
+
uv run pytest tests/ -v
|
|
202
|
+
```
|
|
203
|
+
|
|
204
|
+
### Integration tests (Docker, default):
|
|
205
|
+
|
|
206
|
+
```bash
|
|
207
|
+
uv run pytest tests_integration/ -v
|
|
208
|
+
```
|
|
209
|
+
|
|
210
|
+
This starts a Docker container with SSH server and tests against it.
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
### Integration tests (real SSH server):
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
```bash
|
|
215
|
+
SSH_AUTO_FORWARD_TEST_HOST=your-server uv run pytest tests_integration/ -v
|
|
216
|
+
```

ssh-auto-forward hetzner -v
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
# Only auto-forward ports up to 5000 (higher ports shown but not auto-forwarded)
|
|
107
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner -m 5000
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
# Include ports already forwarded via SSH config LocalForward
|
|
110
|
+
ssh-auto-forward hetzner --include-configs
|
|
111
|

```
|

112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
## Performance
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
Throughput is 150-190 MB/s for large file transfers (45-70% of native `ssh -L`). HTML page latency is 2-3 ms median at up to 10 req/s with zero failures. The overhead comes from paramiko (Python) vs OpenSSH (C) - negligible for interactive use like web browsing.
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
See [benchmarks/](benchmarks/) for full methodology and results.
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
## How it works
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
1. Connects to your remote server using your SSH config
|
|
122
|
+
2. Runs `ss -tlnp` on the remote to find listening ports
|
|
123
|
+
3. Creates SSH tunnels for each discovered port
|
|
124
|
+
4. Continuously monitors for new/closed ports
|
|
125
|
+
5. Handles port conflicts on your local machine
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
### SSH Config Integration
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
The tool reads your SSH config file (`~/.ssh/config`) for connection details. It also respects `LocalForward` directives:
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
```ssh
|
|
132
|
+
Host myserver
|
|
133
|
+
HostName example.com
|
|
134
|
+
User myuser
|
|
135
|
+
LocalForward 8080 localhost:8080 # This port is excluded by default
|
|
136
|
+
LocalForward 3000 localhost:3000
|
|
137
|
+
```
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
By default, ports that are already forwarded via `LocalForward` are **excluded** from the dashboard list since they're handled by SSH itself. Use `--include-configs` to show them.

+
|
|
151
|
+
## Testing
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
Start a test server on your remote machine:
|
|
154
|
+
|
|
155
|
+
```bash
|
|
156
|
+
ssh hetzner "python3 -m http.server 9999 --bind 127.0.0.1 &"
|
|
157
|
+
```
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
Then run `ssh-auto-forward hetzner` and access it locally:
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
```bash
|
|
162
|
+
curl http://localhost:9999/
|
|
163
|
+
```
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
## Stopping
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
- Dashboard: Press `Q`
|
|
168
|
+
- CLI mode: Press `Ctrl+C`
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
## Requirements
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
- Python 3.10+
|
|
173
|
+
- paramiko
|
|
174
|
+
- textual (for TUI dashboard)
|
|
175
|
+
- Remote server must have `ss` or `netstat` command available
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
## Tests
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
### Unit tests (run locally, no SSH required):
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
```bash
|
|
182
|
+
uv run pytest tests/ -v
|
|
183
|
+
```
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
### Integration tests (Docker, default):
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
```bash
|
|
188
|
+
uv run pytest tests_integration/ -v
|
|
189
|
+
```
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
This starts a Docker container with SSH server and tests against it.
|
|
192
|
+
|
|
193
|
+
### Integration tests (real SSH server):
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
```bash
|
|
196
|
+
SSH_AUTO_FORWARD_TEST_HOST=your-server uv run pytest tests_integration/ -v
|
|

# Benchmarks
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Measures the throughput and latency of ssh-auto-forward compared to native `ssh -L` port forwarding.
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
## Architecture
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
The benchmarks use three separate processes to mirror real-world usage:
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
```
|
|
10
|
+
Process 1: Docker container Process 2: Tunnel Process 3: Client
|
|
11
|
+
+--------------------------+ +---------------------+ +------------------+
|
|
12
|
+
| SSH server (port 22) |<-------->| ssh-auto-forward | | Python HTTP |
|
|
13
|
+
| nginx (port 8081) | SSH | --cli | | client |
|
|
14
|
+
| darkhttpd (port 8082) | tunnel | (or native ssh -L) |<------>| (urllib) |
|
|
15
|
+
| python http (port 8080) | +---------------------+ +------------------+
|
|
16
|
+
| stream gen (port 8083) | binds local ports downloads through
|
|
17
|
+
+--------------------------+ 8080-8083 localhost tunnel
|
|
18
|
+
Only port 22 exposed
|
|
19
|
+
```
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
Only SSH port 22 is exposed from the Docker container. All HTTP traffic goes through the SSH tunnel, just like a real user would experience.
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
- Process 1 (Docker): Runs `panubo/sshd` with nginx, darkhttpd, python http.server, and a streaming generator
|
|
24
|
+
- Process 2 (Tunnel): Either `ssh-auto-forward --cli` (our tool with dashboard) or native `ssh -L` (baseline)
|
|
25
|
+
- Process 3 (Client): Python `urllib` making HTTP requests through the tunnel, like a browser would
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+

## Benchmarks
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
### 1. Large File Downloads (`bench_large_files.py`)
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
Downloads pre-generated files (10 MB, 100 MB, 1 GB) and a 10 GB on-the-fly stream through each HTTP server.
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
One ssh-auto-forward tunnel stays open for all tests to match real usage (the user starts the dashboard once and uses it for all downloads).
|
|

| Tunnel | Throughput | Time |
|
|
60
|
+
|--------|-----------|------|
|
|
61
|

| ssh-auto-forward | 151.6 MB/s | 67.6s |
|
|
62
|
+
| native ssh -L | 220.7 MB/s | 46.4s |
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
ssh-auto-forward achieves 45-70% of native ssh throughput for large transfers. The overhead comes from paramiko's Python-based SSH implementation vs OpenSSH's C implementation.
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
### 2. HTML Stress Test (`bench_html_stress.py`)
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
Fires HTTP requests for ~10 KB HTML pages at a controlled rate. Tests whether the tunnel can sustain the target request rate without failures.
|
|

|
+
|
|

|
+

|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
Both tunnels handle 10 req/s with zero failures. ssh-auto-forward adds ~1 ms median latency overhead. Tail latency (p99) is higher at ~20-38 ms vs ~2-3 ms for native ssh, likely due to paramiko's Python event loop.

### 3. Buffer Size Sweep (`bench_buffer_sweep.py`)
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
Tests the impact of the internal pipe buffer size on throughput (100 MB file through nginx).
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
| Buffer Size | Throughput | Time |
|
|
99
|
+
|------------|-----------|------|
|
|
100
|
+
| 4,096 bytes | 65.1 MB/s | 1.53s |
|
|
101
|
+
| 16,384 bytes | 151.9 MB/s | 0.66s |
|
|
102
|
+
| 65,536 bytes | 179.6 MB/s | 0.56s |
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
Increasing the buffer from 4 KB to 64 KB gives a 2.8x throughput improvement. The default was changed from 4096 to 65536 as part of the forwarder fix.

121
|
+
| File | Purpose |
|
|
122
|
+
|------|---------|
|
|
123
|
+
| `bench_large_files.py` | Large file download benchmark (10 MB - 10 GB) |
|
|
124
|
+
| `bench_html_stress.py` | HTML page stress test (1 and 10 req/s) |
|
|
125
|
+
| `bench_buffer_sweep.py` | Buffer size comparison (4 KB, 16 KB, 64 KB) |
|
|
126
|
+
| `bench_common.py` | Shared infrastructure: Docker, tunnels, download clients |
|
|
127
|
+
| `tunnel_helper.py` | Subprocess that runs the ssh-auto-forward CLI or direct SSHTunnel |
|
|
128
|
+
| `download_helper.py` | Subprocess that downloads files (single, many, stress modes) |
|
|
129
|
+
| `Dockerfile` | Docker image with SSH + HTTP servers and test data |
|
|
130
|
+
| `nginx-benchmark.conf` | nginx configuration for benchmark serving |
|
|
131
|
+
| `stream_generator.py` | HTTP server that generates large responses on the fly |
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
## Key Findings
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
1. ssh-auto-forward works correctly -zero failures across all tests, no truncated responses (after the `sendall` fix)
|
|
136
|
+
2. Throughput is 45-70% of native ssh for bulk transfers -the overhead is paramiko (Python) vs OpenSSH (C)
|
|
137
|
+
3. Latency is excellent for interactive use -2-3 ms median for HTML page requests
|
|
138
|
+
4. Buffer size matters -increasing from 4 KB to 64 KB gave 2.8x throughput improvement
|
|
139
|
+
5. Handles 10 req/s stress test with zero failures -more than sufficient for web browsing use cases

## The Fix
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
The Windows performance issue was fixed by using `select.select()` with Paramiko channel's `fileno()` method:
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
```python
|
|
38
|
+
# Get the channel's file descriptor (works on all platforms)
|
|
39
|
+
chan_fd = chan.fileno()
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
# Use select to wait for data on either socket or channel
|
|
42
|
+
rlist, _, _ = select.select([sock, chan_fd], [], [], timeout)
|
|
43
|
+
```
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
This approach:
|
|
46
|
+
- Works cross-platform (Windows ARM64, AMD64, Linux)
|
|
47
|
+
- Achieves ~98% of native SSH performance
|
|
48
|
+
- Eliminates the polling overhead that caused the 200x slowdown
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
## Previous Windows Performance Limitation (RESOLVED)
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
ssh-auto-forward on Windows previously experienced significant performance degradation (~200x slower than native SSH) due to:
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
1. `select.select()` limitation on Windows: Python's `select` module on Windows only works with sockets, not with Paramiko SSH channel objects directly.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
2. Previous workaround overhead: The old implementation used polling (`select` on socket + `chan.recv_ready()` for channel), which added significant latency.
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
3. Solution: Paramiko channels provide a `fileno()` method that returns a valid file descriptor that works with `select()` on all platforms.
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
## Recommendation
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
The Windows performance limitation is now RESOLVED. ssh-auto-forward performs comparably to native SSH on all platforms:
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
- Windows ARM64: ~11-12 MB/s (98% of native SSH)
|
|
65
|
+
- Windows AMD64: ~11-12 MB/s (98% of native SSH)
|
|
66
|
+
- Linux: Similar performance (uses same code path)
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
The tool is now recommended for all platforms for its automatic port detection and dashboard features.
