The service is disabled by default. Configure and then start the client as described below: Copy your SSH key(s) to the root user, e.g.: `sudo cp .ssh/id_ed25519* /root/.ssh/` Connect the ssh-keys interface to access keys and the ssh command: `sudo snap connect ssh-tunnel-client:ssh-keys :ssh-keys` Set the destination: `sudo snap set ssh-tunnel-client destination="user@example.com"` Set the destination ssh server port: `sudo snap set ssh-tunnel-client port="8022"` Pass arguments to the client: `sudo snap set ssh-tunnel-client args="-R 9901:localhost:22"` The above example is for TCP remote forwarding; listening on port 9901 on the remote server, to tunnel traffic to the client on port 22, on the localhost. For more details, refer to the OpenSSH client manual: Start and enable the service: `sudo snap start --enable ssh-tunnel-client` Check the logs: `sudo snap logs -f ssh-tunnel-client` Found issues or need help?
