Public bug reported:

TLDR: Please give us a ssh tunnel manager gui!

Why is this software not in bionic anymore? 
What was the problem and who could / would like to fix that?


>From what I understand there is no visual ssh tunnel manager by default
in Ubuntu 18.04 - this is a big usability problem, as no normal user
ever understands what a ssh tunnel is - but with a visual manager I was
able to provide averagge people with the ability to establish ssh
tunnels.

There is one alternative by Brandon Williams: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~opensource-subakutty/tunnelmanager/devel

if you just throw out such an important gui tool it would be great to
consider replacing it with something similar to not produce a lack of
options. Ubuntu is great, but these little tools make advanced tech
available for average users and that makes it magic! Please consider
adding the tunnel manager by Brandon to the release or please build gstm
for 18.04.

Also any advice would be very appreciated about any alternative - I did
some research if network-manager could replace a tunnel manager gui, and
there is one simple ssh plugin, but it can not compete with the both
softwares mentioned above, as it lacks the possibility to setup multiple
tunnels for one connection. gstm was just ok, Brandons tool is also very
nice and maybe he feels motivated to polish it when used as an official
package.


Thank you very much for your attention!
