making FreeBSD phone home via SSH

[Edward Capriolo]

I believe the stunnel application is made to manager and restart
tunnels like this. However stunnel is a wrapper application around
reverse ssh tunnels, which someone has already mentioned.

You may want to run your ssh server on tcp https 443. Because some
firewalls will block outgoing things. SSH server on 443 looks like a
secured web site to almost all packet inspecting engines.
