TunnelerX is an application for Mac OS X to let you run a single SSH tunnel from your system menu bar, typically to securely re-route HTTP (web browsing) traffic to a remote proxy server. If you have ever had to run one of the following commands in a little Terminal window in the corner of your screen, then this application is for you:

ssh -N -L 8123:localhost:8123 bobo@theclown.com
ssh -N -D 8123:localhost bobo@theclown.com

Changes for 0.9.5:

• The application is now named TunnelerX instead of Tunneler
• A few bugs have been fixed related to sleeping and waking up the computer
• New graphics and icons for the application. It’s a bit less ghetto looking now.

For the 1.0 release (upcoming), I will add Growl notifications for those who wish them. The Growl website is currently down, so I can’t do much yet.
