About tunl
Tunl is a ssh-tunnel manager without a lot of frills. It has a command-line interface which works any place you have ssh and python. I wrote this mainly because I wanted dead simple command-line and programmatic access to a ssh-tunnel manager with unsurprising configuration files. (Also I can't be bothered to remember the ssh command line syntax, and I sure do hate typing)
The main documentation is located here.
