Been using this for years, can be a little weird at times but usually works fairly well, even on OS X.
Doesn't work on Yosemite!
I've used it extensively on Yosemite.
One problem is that it does not support DNS tunneling if FreeBSD is your client.[1]
Item: we (rsync.net) would be willing to pay for development that gets sshuttle to work properly and bulletproof on FreeBSD. In fact, we would be willing to pay for sshuttle development in general. Email us.[2]
Also, what is up with this new fork ... which speaks from the original authors point of view and, in fact, has his own personal notes cut and pasted into the README. In fact, the contact information is the original author - Avery Pennarun apenwarr@gmail.com - what's going on here ?
[1] No, the note about IPFIREWALL_FORWARD does not fix this problem.

Why not just use OpenVPN? It's just as simple (if not simpler) to setup and considerably more powerful. An OpenVPN server can go from zero to done in under 5 minutes (for HN readers, less) with a Docker container: https://github.com/kylemanna/github

I love sshuttle. You can point it at any ssh server (that has python installed on it) and you don't need any special privileges on the remote end.

I used this for a while in summer while I travelled to China, it worked shortly before the powerful GFW blocks it deadly, along with openvpn-over-443-port etc that I tried, which also failed soon after it's used for a short while.

I ended up creating a proper VPN via a microtik router and have enjoyed the superior performance compared to sshuttle, though it was several orders of magnitude more effort to get going! sshuttle was almost too easy to get up and running :)

sshuttle is really cool, except both macs I've run it on would have weird system crashes while running it.
