never knew ssh did tun/tap. live and learn.

my personal preference has been to use ssh -D and tsocks for this. it doesn't require root on either side and tsocks is elegant for inbueing just the processes you want with the ability to use the tunnel.

Proxychains is a good modern (maintained) alternative to tsocks

interesting. never realized that tsocks hasn't seen an update in nearly 20 years. i've never had an issue with it, although i suppose i haven't had to setup my own tunnels in quite some years now.
