I just released RTunnel 0.1.0. It’s a client/server written in Ruby which helps you to reverse tunnel connections, same as ssh -R. I ran into a bunch of issues when using ssh -R on an internet connection which drops frequently, that’s why I wrote RTunnel. It has helped a lot so far with reverse tunneling connections for developing Facebook apps locally.

Update
I added a binary for Linux so you don’t need ruby to run rtunnel_server anymore.
After running the client and server, when I try to connect to the server from my browser I get
on my server:
new incoming connection
sending create connection command: affcfb5aad2711dc8278404125df84cd
closing remote connection: affcfb5aad2711dc8278404125df84cd
sending close connection command
sock closed
on my client:
error connecting to local port
WARNING: received data for non existant connection!
closing connection affcfb5aad2711dc8278404125df84cd
Could you please help me out?
Thanks
