Reverse SSH tunnel monitor

I've setup a reverse ssh tunnel, using PuTTY, to allow me to VNC into a home computer without having to enable NAT port forwarding. Works great, no problem.

I would like to set the tunnel up as a "persistent service" that will connect on boot up and reconnect when dropped. PS. this is on Windows.

Exhaustive googling found a few products but many seem to have been abandoned and none appear to have major "street cred."

  • eztunnel ssh
  • Easy Tunnel
  • SSH Tunnel
  • Persistent Tunnel
  • MyEnTunnel
  • Calling Home

Does anyone have experience with this type of thing or with any of these products? I don't need all the bells and whistles, just reliability.

wikipedia's comparison of ssh clients has columns for tunnelling, SOCKS etc. may help you find something suitable
