I'm not sure about stability yet. I just started using it. So far it has performed well. I'm curoius to see its handling of timeouts.

B3 seems to be quite stable. I have had no major issues yet, so I'll be using it for now.

But until it gets more stable..
back to 1.03 I go.

I noticed this mainly in extended use - the SSH tunnels would collapse without warning, followed by beachballs of death in the applications dependant on port forwarding (mail, http, etc.)
Rebuilding tunnels after a collapse would not work consistently - even though the application shows a working tunnel (i.e. green status light). My underlying SSH components seem to be OK because I'd still be able to SSH in via the terminal application.
Even closing the tunnel manually and quitting SSHTB would not work. I had to restart the PB before SSHTB would work again. I have reverted to 1.03 in the meantime since being on the bleeding edge has left me SSH-less.
In comparison, version 1.03 allows me to leave the same tunnels open all day, as long as I have some activity every 2 minutes or so. Thus, there seems to be a bug in SSHTB 2.0b that affects my machine (PBG4, OS 10.3.2). Has anyone else had the same issue?

However, SSHTunnel is still having trouble detecting when tunnels are broken... even three minutes after shutting off my connection to the internet, the tunnel is still being shown as "Connected". IIRC, there are provisions within the SSH protocol to detect broken LAN connections...
It would be great if SSHTB could incorporate the open-source code for AutoSSH, since that would eliminate a number of issues like the one mentioned above. Also, AutoSSH would re-establish broken connections automatically once the machine is hooked back up to the internet.
A minor quibble is the somewhat unintuitive data entry for new tunnels. If you finish a line and then hit the "add" button, the line gets erased and you get to start over. Silly rabbit, you were supposed to hit enter first!
Lastly, it would have been nice if SSHTB2 could have imported the prior preference file instead of forcing the user to enter the data all over again.
Nothing takes away from the fact that this is a great program for those of us who like to keep their internet connections secure. While all the functions in SSHTB can be executed with CLI scripts, this has to be the easiest way to secure your connections with SSH. Best of all, it's free, so a big hat off to Yann Tynsoe for developing it in the first place.
