Infinite PuTTY Tunnel allows you to quickly open and maintain persistent ssh tunnels from your system tray using PuTTY.

• Simple: Start and stop ssh tunnels defined in PuTTY from your system tray.
• Persistent Tunnels: Automatically restart previously active tunnels when ipt.exe starts.
• Watchdog: Restart tunnels that close unexpectedly.
• Secure: No support for password based authentication because it is insecure.
• Department of Redundancy Department: TODO: Keep track of open tunnels and prevent multiple tunnels from listening on the same port

1. Download and install the [.NET 4.5.1 Framework] dot-net. Most computers will already have this installed via Windows Update

3. Download and install the [latest version] current-release of Infinite PuTTY Tunnel (ipt.exe)

1. Configure your tunnel using putty.exe and save it as a session

3. Configure Pageant to start ipt.exe after your keys are loaded
4. Begin using Infinite PuTTY Tunnel to automatically start and maintain your tunnel

This software is a fork of PuTTY Tunnel Manager. The original appears to be no longer maintained. This program is nearly a complete rewrite of the original Putty Tunnel Manager. I've made many changes and have done my best to improve the reliability and code quality of this software.
