Works as advertised. Easy to setup (especially with Tomato Router SSH) and I like all of its available customizations. But as with others, the widget just refuses to work. It'll connect & immediately disconnect. If I open the app and connect there, it works just fine. Would really rather use the Widget to turn it on/off really quickly as needed.

Connecting through a home based Linux box's ssh couldn't be much easier. The widget toggle wasn't happy with my phone, but running the app itself and using the checkmark to enable works flawlessly. A great way to secure your remote connection wherever you are, and to access LAN-only IP's at the same time!

It's almost just like a VPN (if you have root privileges, obviously), except much easier to throw together. Also, there doesn't seem to be any support for passphrase-protected SSH keys, which is a bit of a bummer for those of us who don't like the idea of unprotected keys to our servers. Aside from that though, good stuff.

Holds connection well and if you are creative, can forward most phone/tablet traffic without rooting. I know what I am doing, so please get rid of the please root warning recurring every start. I will not root my Nexus and void the warranty though I do have other devices out of warranty happily rooted.

Im not sure what exactly is wrong... the application doesnt show any error, but my ip isnt changing to my ssh server ip when i check whatsmyip site. Ill try to find if the tunnel is created on the server side...or if the global proxy setting isnt working...

Perfect for what I need, and really easy to set up. But why does it tell you to root the device, when it's not necessary for a basic SSH tunnel? Also the vibration alerts could be toned down a bit!
