How to make permanent port forwarding?

Question

SSH

I forward the ports like this:
ssh -f [email protected] -L 1234:127.0.0.1:1234 -N
but, I close the terminal and it all resets, then I need to do it again. how to avoid dropping?

Answer 1

Try `&` after the command. It puts the command in the background:
`nohup` will help to completely untie from the terminal:

nohup ssh -f [email protected] -L 1234:127.0.0.1:1234 -N &

Answer 2

autossh
