10. Waits for the user to press Ctrl+C to stop the script.

## Recent Updates

### Version 2.0 - Major Refactoring (Latest)

The script has been completely refactored to improve code quality, maintainability, and reliability:

**🔧 Code Quality Improvements:**
- Extracted hardcoded values to configurable constants
- Added comprehensive input validation (IP addresses, ports)
- Implemented structured logging with timestamps
- Added strict error handling (`set -euo pipefail`)
- Modularized code into 19 focused functions
- Passes shellcheck linting with zero warnings

**🛡️ Security Enhancements:**
- Added SSH connection timeouts and proper options
- Improved password handling (validation, no command-line exposure)
- Better process management for background SSH connections

**⚡ Reliability Features:**
- Comprehensive error checking for all operations
- Graceful cleanup procedures for all components
- Better user feedback and debugging information
- Input validation with user-friendly retry loops

**📚 Maintainability:**
- Clean, documented code structure
- Single responsibility functions
- Consistent coding style and formatting
- Removed dead/commented code

## Requirements

The script requires the following dependencies to be installed on the local machine:
