Config...Forward(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Config::Model::models::Ssh::PortForward — it's a Configuration class, bestie, and you're reading the 3pm perl manual page for it. Also known as plain old Ssh::PortForward. 💅

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like… these are Configuration classes that Config::Model uses. 🫶

It's the configuration class that represents all the parameters you need to actually specify port forwarding in an ssh config. That's the whole vibe. Main character energy for your tunnel. 🔥

---

🧚 Elements 🧚

🌸 ipv6

Tells you whether this forward was specified with IPv6 or IPv4. Optional. Type boolean. Simple as that, no cap. ✨

🦋 bind_address - bind address to listen to

This one says which address the port is gonna listen to. By default, only connections coming from localhost (127.0.0.1) get forwarded. 🙈

By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However, an explicit bind_address can be used to bind the connection to a specific address. So you can override the default if you want, iconic. 💅

The bind_address of 'localhost' means the listening port is bound for local use only. An empty address or '*' means the port should be available from all interfaces. 🌈 Optional. Type uniline.

🎀 port

Listening port. Any connection made to this port gets forwarded to the other side of the tunnel. 🚇 Mandatory. Type uniline.

⭐ host - host name or address

Mandatory. Type uniline. It's giving "where are we even going" energy, fr fr.

🍓 hostport - destination port

The port number to connect the tunnel to. Mandatory. Type uniline. 👑
