#2Looks interesting, will give it a read as it looks to cover more than the basics.
Years ago I worked in a SOC doing managed services for a major telco provider, and for some reason they thought that we didn't have the need to do any kind of SSH tunneling to manage routers/switches/firewalls. They kept blocking it at various layers, and we kept having to find more and more creative ways to get around it. I think at one point we were hosting our own PAC files local to our machines, building three layers of tunnels (the last of which being a dynamic SOCKS tunnel), and using a portable browser (because we couldn't be trusted with admin!) with FoxyProxy (or similar) to finally reach our destination.

#3Similarly, with "sshuttle" you can pick n mix from different subnets with ease, or even forward your entire internet over SSH without a proxy for "poor mans VPN"
... although for the later purpose it's no where near as CPU efficient as wiregaurd, but with non root access to any SSH server it can get you around barriers in a pinch with only TCP 443 available, and effectively "VPN" multiple potentially conflicting subnets at the same time - I've not seen any other tool that can do the latter so effortlessly.

I think you are confusing two books. The author has a book on SSH tunneling and a lab guide for an interactive lab they offer about SSH tunneling.
The first is free, the second is a commercial product.

> Your purchase includes a PDF lab guide with 45+ exercises and 28 days of interactive access to a real live lab to practice SSH tunneling and port redirection techniques!
You consider a book that’s free spam just because it has a paid companion? Jeeze, HN is tough.
OP, this is really cool. Thanks for sharing.

From the very first paragraph of the README:
> This repo contains the PDF book The Cyber Plumber's Handbook - The definitive guide to Secure Shell (SSH) tunneling, port redirection, and bending traffic like a boss. The book was first published in October 2018 for purchase, but now I'm providing it for FREE to anyone interested in learning more about the magic of SSH tunnels and port redirection.

I am not selling anything and the author of this book is giving it away for free. The lab guide and access to the lab servers cost something.
