Additional Suggested Software

- If you are using systemd, sshuttle can notify it when the connection to
  the remote end is established and the firewall rules are installed. For
  this feature to work you must configure the process start-up type for the
  sshuttle service unit to notify, as shown in the example below.

.. code-block:: ini
   :emphasize-lines: 6

   [Unit]
   Description=sshuttle
   After=network.target

   [Service]
   Type=notify
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/sshuttle --dns --remote <user>@<server> <subnets...>

   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
