### Usage with SSH
You can use `forward` to do multiplexing of SSH and HTTP in a quick and dirty way, using very simple protocol introspection. A more robust solution would be [sshttp ](https://github.com/stealth/sshttp )

## Usage on Windows
`forward` is wrapped with [go-svc ](https://github.com/judwhite/go-svc ), enabling it to be run as a Windows service. To add with PowerShell:
```powershell
New-Service -BinaryPathName "C:\path\to\forward.exe -connect 192.168.0.10:80 -listen :80" -Name "port-forward-http"
```
