redis-ssh v1.0.0 establishes a Redis connection through an SSH tunnel using the ssh2 and redis packages. It wraps the SSH tunnel lifecycle and provides a simple connect() function that returns a Redis client and a close() method. This package simplifies connecting to a remote Redis instance behind a firewall without manual SSH port forwarding. Unlike full VPN solutions, it is lightweight and specific to Redis. The release cadence is ad-hoc with no recent updates; it is stable for its limited use case but not actively maintained.
