Comparison with Termius

SSHception has been created after Termius made syncing and host chaining paid, therefore those are the main common features between the two solutions.

FAQ

Why should I use SSHception ?

It is open source.

This project is released under the MIT license.

It is multiplatform.

Firstly, the server can run on any platform supporting NodeJS.

Secondly, the server can be accessed from any SSH client.

It respects your privacy.

Your data is encrypted using the AES-256 asymmetric encryption algorithm using your own as password.

The standard TOTP 2FA is supported.

Why shouldn't I use SSHception ?

No direct connection.

Since this project is a server-side service, the SSH connection to your target host is not initiated from your client itself but from the SSHception server-side client then streamed to you.

Therefore, your SSH client-side logs will always log your connections to the SSHception server and your SSH server-side logs will always log the connections from the SSHception server.
