About:
Rospo is a Go-based tool that creates and manages persistent SSH tunnels, allowing secure remote access to internal services. It embeds a lightweight SSH server, eliminating the need for a separate SSH daemon. Its main value is providing reliable, auto-reconnecting tunnels with minimal configuration.
Key Features:
  • Persistent SSH tunnels with auto-reconnect
  • Embedded SSH server (no external SSHd required)
  • YAML configuration for easy setup
  • Supports local and remote port forwarding
  • Built-in web UI for monitoring and management
Use Cases:
  • Securely accessing internal development servers from outside a network
  • Exposing local web services for temporary public access or testing
  • Creating reliable bastion host connections for cloud infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • autossh – More basic, requires external SSH server and manual scripting for persistence
  • ngrok – Cloud-based service with free tier, less control over infrastructure
