severe bandwith usage after connection closed

[Chloe Steuben]

Binary package hint: sshuttle

There is a pretty severe bug concerning bandwith usage incoming to the remote server, even though the application on the client end has already closed its connection. This bug has been fixed in the current version (0.53), and many other useful features such as DNS tunneling have also been included.

Quoted below is the google groups discussion:

The original post mentions "This should now be fixed in sshuttle 0.44. Please let me know if your problems persist."

All currently supported Ubuntu versions have version 0.54. Assuming this is fixed, please close this bug report.
