The SSH command allows you to create an encrypted tunnel between two hosts and is included in OS X, but it can only be operated from the command console by default, which novices may find a bit too difficult.

SSH Tunnel Manager can make this task a whole lot easier, as it enables you to set up any number of connections from a simple, intuitive GUI, ensuring that even users with no prior experience can get things running in no time.

When first launching the application, you are presented with the Preferences panel, where you can add your first connection and configure it. You can define its name, the remote host and the port to be used, as well as the username.

You can specify if the application should connect to a particular tunnel on launch, use system authentication, enable compression, force use of the SSH v1 protocol, allow LAN connections or enable SOCKS4 proxy on a specified port.

It is possible to set up any number of local or remote redirections for each configured connection.

Once everything has been set up, you can monitor the status of each tunnel from the Connections window, which lets you know whether they are active or not.

By default, SSH Tunnel Manager is displayed in your Dock, but you can remove this icon to reduce clutter.

Moreover, the application can be sent to your menu bar, allowing you to start, stop or just keep track of connections with one or two mouse clicks.

In short, SSH Tunnel Manager is a great tool for novices and experts alike, as it can save you a lot of time regardless of whether or not you are familiar with the standard Terminal commands. It provides an intuitive GUI and allows you to manage connections from your Mac’s menu bar.
