Description-en: SSH connection daemon
sidedoor maintains an SSH connection or tunnel
with a shell script daemon.
.
The primary use case is maintaining a remote port forward
to the local SSH server (or another port). Thus, the local
device can be accessed without using incoming connections
that may be blocked by a NAT or firewall or otherwise
impractical with mobile devices.
.
SSH clients can connect to the device via the reverse SSH proxy
that sidedoor tunnels to. This proxy server can be untrusted
and run by a third party or cloud service.
.
sidedoor enables SSH keepalives and retries SSH with
exponential backoff. In order to reconnect as soon as possible,
it resets the backoff when a network interface is brought up
(or changed).
.
Refer to the sidedoor man page to configure and set SSH keys.
