Launch: Crappy VPN

Me: mom can we have VPN
Mom: we have VPN at home
VPN at home:

The Crappy VPN preferences window on Mac, with fields for username, server, port, and private key, and the SSH commands it will run.

Crappy VPN is not a VPN. I don’t have a VPN, but I have some servers that I can ssh into. So when I need a proxy, I would set up an SSH tunnel. Crappy VPN is an app that simplifies that process.

Crappy VPN is built on top of the code of Staring. I only added a preference window and a few helper methods to execute the shell commands. Try building it yourself! Or download the app if you just want to use it.
