SSH is great for setting up quick tunnels with minimal effort, its basically a plugin to network manager.
Yes its open source GPL-2
Not sure how many users but its very handy for businesses

This is very useful to get around filters like Squid. I had to use an ssh tunnel a while back and would have really appreciated to have this integrated into nm.
I'm currently working on packaging it. Is there a testing server for SSH tunnels somewhere? I didn't find one.
This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over 30 days. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a completed patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.
