Description

I haven't seen this documented, but is it possible to add or remove tunnel endpoints on the fly without having to restart the chisel TCP connection?

This would be an awesome feature. Right now when I want to add/remove a connection I need to either start/stop my existing chisel process (killing any tunneled sessions), or start a separate chisel tunnel. The latter isn't that big of a deal, but it starts becoming a bit of a management headache when I'm dealing with a dozen or so chisel processes.

Thoughts or ideas are welcome!
