sshpiper is a reverse proxy for SSH that routes incoming SSH/SCP connections to upstream servers, with pluggable authentication mapping and additional challenges like two-factor authentication. It supports all protocols over SSH, session auditing/recording, and is managed via a web admin console.

Use cases

• proxy ssh connections to backend servers
• set up an ssh bastion with two-factor authentication
• record ssh sessions for auditing
• route ssh by username to different upstream hosts
• map password auth downstream to key auth upstream
• proxy scp and port forwarding through a single gateway

When to choose

• you need a single SSH entry point to many backend machines
• you want 2FA or auth method remapping without modifying upstream sshd
• you need session recording and auditing for SSH access

When to avoid

• you only need simple port forwarding without auth control
• you need a general-purpose TCP proxy rather than SSH-aware proxying
