# Script above opens a reverse tunnel from laptop to fake-remote.leftbrained.co.uk
# from fake-remote.leftbrained.co.uk (a VPS I use for general cruft work) I can do...

$ ssh localhost -p1100

# That uses the outbound tunnel from laptop to fake-remote to go from fake-remote to laptop.

# On the laptop, the following runs every few minutes.  It picks up email from
# a super-secret account and picks an applescript to run, one of which opens the tunnel.
