Hi,
Is there any way to encrypt data transmitted from the Hobbit Client to the Hobbit Server? Currently, if someone put a sniffer on the network will have access to all information transmitted, as they are in plain text.
Install autossh. Configure public-private key pairs such that hobbit at tunnelbox.vak12ed.edu trusts hobbit at hobbit.vak12ed.edu with proper key.
On Hobbit server hobbit.vak12ed.edu, autossh -M 64998 -f -f -N -R 127.0.0.234:1984:hobbit.vak12ed.edu:1984 -i ~hobbit/.ssh/id_rsa.flotsam hobbit at tunnelbox.vak12ed.edu
tunnelbox.vak12ed.edu is set up with BBSERVERIP=127.0.0.234, thus reports over a secure tunnel.
