Net::SSH::Proxy::Gateway

Allows using Net::SSH::Gateway as a proxy in Net::SSH.start(host, user, proxy:..).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'net-ssh-proxy-gateway'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install net-ssh-proxy-gateway

It accepts the same parameters as Net::SSH::Gateway.new which works quite a lot like Net::SSH.start.

session = Net::SSH.start(
  'target-host-name-or-ip.example.com',
  'target-host-username',
  proxy: Net::SSH::Proxy::Gateway.new(
    'proxy-host-hostname-or-ip.example.com',
    'proxy-host-username',
    #proxy_host_connection_options (see Net::SSH.start)
  )
)

Tada! The session to the target host will be tunneled through the proxy host. Nothing else for you to do. The port forwarding will be automatically canceled when the main session is closed.
