This is a plist file for starting autossh automatically after you login to your Mac.

To use:

• Install autossh

  $ brew install autossh
  

• Ensure you have passwordless ssh between yourself and your remote server

• Change /opt/boxen/homebrew/bin/autossh to the output of which autossh

• Change the string after -i (it is fuckgfw now) to your private key file name if you have

• Change the string remotehost to the host which save your ass

• Modify the logging related configuration if you don't use boxen . Or remove the block completely if you don't want to see any log

• Copy the above gist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/autossh.lenciel.plist

• Ask OSX to launch autossh every time you log in:

$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/autossh.lenciel.plist

After this you might need to setup your browser or tell OSX to use the encrypted connection globally by : System Preferences ➡ Network ➡ Advanced ➡ Proxies

Change at least the Web Proxy (HTTP), Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS), and FTP Proxy entries and enjoy it.

Thanks a lot for sharing it!

In my case, I had to remove -f from the options.
