Download and install the [.NET 4.5.1 Framework] [dot-net]. Most computers will already have this installed via Windows Update\r\n2. [Download][putty-installer] and install the latest version of PuTTY\r\n3. Download and install the [latest version] [current-release] of *Infinite PuTTY Tunnel* (ipt.exe)\r\n\r\n## Configuration\r\n\r\n1. [Configure your tunnel][putty-config-ssh-portfwd] using putty.exe and [save it as a session][putty-config-session]\r\n2. Using PuTTY, Ensure that the session works and does not trigger any interactive prompts\r\n3. [Configure Pageant][putty-pageant-cmdline-command] to start ipt.exe after your keys are loaded\r\n4. Begin using *Infinite PuTTY Tunnel* to automatically start and maintain your tunnel\r\n\r\n## History\r\nThis software is a fork of *PuTTY Tunnel Manager*. The [original][downstream] appears to be no longer maintained.\r\nThis program is nearly a complete rewrite of the original *Putty Tunnel Manager*. I've made many changes and have done my best to improve the reliability and code quality of this software.\r\n\r\n[current-release]: https://github.com/dietsche/infinite-putty-tunnel/releases/latest/\r\n[downstream]: https://github.com/joeribekker/putty-tunnel-manager\r\n[putty]: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/\r\n[putty-installer]: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty-installer.exe\r\n[putty-config-ssh-portfwd]: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#config-ssh-portfwd\r\n[putty-config-session]: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#config-session\r\n[putty-pageant-cmdline-command]: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter9.html#pageant-cmdline-command\r\n[dot-net]: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5a4x27ek(v=vs.110).aspx\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffarmergreg%2Finfinite-putty-tunnel","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffarmergreg%2Finfinite-putty-tunnel","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffarmergreg%2Finfinite-putty-tunnel/lists"}
