always-on ssh tunnel hi
i currently use ssh tunneling in order to route all my internet traffic through a vps.
i connect via ssh with all the default options to a vps, binding port 1080 on my machine to the ssh connection. i then set firefox's proxy to localhost:1080 (socks)
there's a tiny problem here. i have to restart the ssh tunnel all the time, especially every time i restart or when i bring the computer out of standby or hibernate. this can get annoying.
short of getting off my *** and writing a script, is there anyway to implement an always on ssh connection?
note: i have root privileges on the vps, but my provider doesn't allow me to host a proxy.
thanks
