ssh command

# To connect to a remote server:
ssh <username>@<remote_host>

# To connect to a remote server with a specific identity (private key):
ssh -i <path/to/key_file> <username>@<remote_host>

# To connect to a remote server using a specific port:
ssh <username>@<remote_host> -p <2222>

# To run a command on a remote server with a [t]ty allocation allowing interaction with the remote command:
ssh <username>@<remote_host> -t <command> <command_arguments>

# To sSH tunneling: Dynamic port forwarding (SOCKS proxy on 'localhost:1080):
ssh -D <1080> <username>@<remote_host>

# To sSH tunneling: Forward a specific port ('localhost:9999' to 'example.org:80') along with disabling pseudo-[T]ty allocation and executio[N] of remote commands:
ssh -L <9999>:<example.org>:<80> -N -T <username>@<remote_host>

# To sSH jumping: Connect through a jumphost to a remote server (Multiple jump hops may be specified separated by comma characters):
ssh -J <username>@<jump_host> <username>@<remote_host>

# To agent forwarding: Forward the authentication information to the remote machine (see 'man ssh_config' for available options):
ssh -A <username>@<remote_host>

ssh -g -D 8001 -p 443 username@sshserver.com

# -g = share ssh tunnel on lan
# -D 8001 = localport
# -p 443 = remote ssh port

# search for ssh process id, if you want to kill the connection
ps aux | grep "[s]sh -D"

# You can now connect to the ssh tunnel on the lan as a socks 5 proxy
# Change your network setting to connect to the ip address and port of
# the computer running the ssh tunnel
# socks proxy
# ip: 10.0.0.1
# port: 8001

# Logic: check if network location is proxy and switch if it isnt:
LOCATION=Proxy # Network location
IPADDRESS=80.100.10.4 # ip address of computer running ssh

# To switch network locations and open an ssh tunnel:
scselect $LOCATION && ssh -N -p 22 -C -c 3des -D 1080 $IPADDRESS
