What is Persistent SSH?
Persistent SSH is a specialized tool designed to manage SSH tunnels on Windows systems by ensuring they remain operational even after connection losses. It functions as a Windows service, running continuously without requiring user logon, and automatically attempts to restart disconnected tunnels until successful reconnection is achieved.
The tool simplifies SSH tunnel management by eliminating the need for installing third-party applications such as Putty, Cygwin, or autossh, as all necessary components are compiled into the software. Configuration and monitoring can be performed remotely via any modern web browser, providing flexibility for users to manage tunnels from anywhere. A free version is available for personal use on non-server Windows systems, with paid editions offering extended features for professional and server environments.
