Comments on SSH Tunnel for Android

★★★★★ Thanks for this app and continuing to update it. I'm using it alongside SocksDroid to create a proper VPN over SSH without any device rooting and it's working awesomely.

★★★★★ Perfect for what I need, and really easy to set up. But why does it tell you to root the device, when it's not necessary for a basic SSH tunnel? Also the vibration alerts could be toned down a bit!

★★★★★ It always ask to root my phone. It works on pixels phone by default, nothing else is required. How can i remove this pop up?

★★☆☆☆ This connects to my remote server, but does not change my IP from mobile data, and I do not think it recognising LTE/4G. Also does not autostart on boot, or when connection changes etc. Unfortunate as all of the guides on persistent SSH tunneling on Android recommend it. URL for project gives 404. I have emailed the dev.

★★☆☆☆ Socks proxy doesn't work Rooted and have iptables support, but the socks proxy still doesn't work

★★☆☆☆ Counter intuitive interface, hard to use, need to create multiple profiles for multiple ports, can't forward privileged ports even with root access granted. UI needs serious reactor.

★★☆☆☆ App would be great if it would read rsa key files but for some reason will not connect to ssh server running key pairs of 2048 or above.

★★☆☆☆ Currently not redirecting all traffic on OnePlus3T (Android 7.1.1 with ROOT). ConnectBot+ProxyDroid works fine...
