sshmuxd
A secure SSH jump host proxy with fine-grained access control for multi-user environments.
What is sshmuxd?
sshmuxd is an SSH proxy server that acts as a controlled gateway for accessing multiple backend servers through a single entry point. It solves the problem of securely managing SSH access for multiple users by enforcing strict permissions and preventing unauthorized exploration of the network infrastructure. Unlike traditional SSH jump hosts, it provides fine-grained access control without complex SSH configuration.
System administrators and DevOps engineers who need to provide secure SSH access to multiple users in shared environments, particularly those managing infrastructure with multiple backend servers.
Developers choose sshmuxd because it offers simpler and more secure access control than traditional SSH jump hosts, with fine-grained permissions that prevent users from exploring beyond their authorized servers. Its memory-based agent forwarding and support for end-to-end encrypted ProxyCommand connections provide additional security layers.
