About SSH Autotunnel APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Simple, intuitive SSH tunneling application with automatic reconnection after internet connectivity problems and with automatic start up after the device is turned on.NOTE: If you like this application and want to support it's developers consider the paid version 'SSH Autotunnel Pro', which is actively developed, supported and opened for new feature requests. Also please report any bugs to my email instead of user reviews so that I can ask for additional details and have the problem fixed.
This application can create secure tunnels using a SSH connection for the user to access services available only from the target machine. For example user can connect to the company server and then use web browser to connect to internal web site of their company, use remote desktop to connect remotely to their office PC desktop and control it from their Android device, or bypass a firewall restriction in their hotel or company by connecting to Internet pages from the remote machine.
The application uses standard SSH protocol, without the need to configure and setup a VPN. The only information the user needs to know is the login information to the remote machine and IP/port information of the service they want to connect to. Once the SSH tunnel has been established, the user can connect to the specified local port to access the network service on the remote side using the same application they normally use when their device is connected to that network. The local port need not have the same port number as the remote port.
SSH Autotunnel is better than connectbot at recovering from network disconnects. It also consumes less power because it does only one thing and does not emulate any terminal.
Ssh Autotunnel is using JSch and Bouncycastle projects, which are under BSD and MIT licenses

USER GUIDE:
You put public address of as a server that is entry point to the intranet. Use username@ip[:port] (you can use hostname instead of ip of course and you can use different port than 22). Then use either password or ssh key (or both in which case ssh key is expected to be encrypted with the given password). Then on the menu you can add forwardings. You can have as much forwarding for one connection as you want. You need to specify local port, host and remote port. You can also select if this is local or remote forwarding. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding for more details on port forwarding. Also note that this application doesn't support any kind of SOCKS proxy.
The application supports both types of private keys - those generated by putty's keygen (ppk) and also the open ssh keys (Linux format). Just copy/paste the content of the key file to the appropriate text box or enter path to the file location on the Android device (e.g. /sdcard/id_rsa.pub). If you experience connection issues and are sure your password is correct, try reexporting your key using a certified tool (such as puttygen) and use the exported key with SSH Autotunnel since some tools do not generate proper OpenSSH format keys.
Also check with your ssh server administrator about server logs.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
3 ★Downloaded this app instead of the standard connectbot for the start on boot feature. It did start on boot..but neither waited for internet connection nor retry the SSH connection..making start on boot feature pointless.
5 ★Finally after trying 7 other apps. Needed something that would use a rsa key. Actually I wanted to use my putty ppk file but it would not take it. No biggie the id.rsa works perfect. RDP is super fast. Fantastic app!
1 ★Can you please add feature that the app will auto reconect,if the connection lost? Because this is very annoying... Zzzzzz.. Then ill give you 5stars..
5 ★Does port forwarding effortlessly A++
3 ★Nice app, but Wifi on Android is just awful, connection drops all the time all the time all the time and no, this application does not reconnect after a connection drop. I have to reconnect manually every frigging time. **UPDATE** I got a new phone a few days ago and installed a newer version of this app on it. Now it seems it always reconnects automatically and does keep the tunnel running all the time. Great! However, my phone was freezing, becoming unresponsive for a while from time to time, from 3 to 30 seconds, very annoying. I suspected SSH Autotunnel and turned it off for two days. Guess what: no more freezes! Looks like a bug to me. :-(
2 ★I can't find any documentation for this app. I am getting auth errors. It would be nice to have a setup guide. The mandatory private key complicates matters. Similar apps don't require this and connect no problem. I can't make this one work.
5 ★It was working without rooting the mobile.
5 ★Like probably everyone, I grabbed ConnectBot with the intention of setting up a remote tunnel so that I could get to my Android device no matter where it connected from and what IP it got. Where ConnectBot fails, though, SSH Autotunnel succeeds. It is small, fast and robust. All of these things are very important for a background application. It can start when the device boots, and you can configure any tunnel to automatically connect when the device starts. This means that whenever your device boots, you will get your tunnels up without any human interaction. This also means that your proxy tunnels are available to your other apps sooner. If you need an ssh client, ConnectBot is great. If you just want your tunnels up quickly and to have them stay up, get SSH Autotunnel. It Just Works. A+
5 ★I am a huge tunneler, I use it to get around client proxies and internet issues and to also connect to my machines using inbound and outbound tunnels, this app is a charm. It allows me to create local tunnels that i can leverage from other apps as this runs in the background. Perfect solution, thanks guys!
5 ★Saw the reviews about using non standard SSH port but thought I would give it a try anyways and it worked! I use a non standard SSH port with five port mappings(tunnels) and it worked great! Now I can finally use my SABnzbd, Sickbeard, CouchPotato and Headphones remotes(MediaDog or NZB Unity) securely without having to open my firewall wide open. Cannot find a way to have SSH Autotunnel run as a process in the background but maybe it's something I'm doing wrong. Still works great though and is fast, I just need to open SSH Autotunnel and then switch to the other application(MediaDog or NZB Unity) and everything works!
5 ★This is the best tunneling software that i have come across. It helps with multiple ssh port forwarding for different services that i have on my box. But the only issue is that it doesn't automatically re establish the connection if the connection gets dropped. If developer can get this fixed, the software will become really versatile
4 ★While the competitor worked out of the box, I had to fiddle with the settings to get it to work. A notification icon to remind me it's sucking battery juice would be nice.
