Yes, but:

1) you have to know which ports you want to forward before you ssh into the remote host and

2) you have to change configurations (hostname and ports) in all the programs you use (for example, instead of pointing your browser to http://foo, you're going to have to go and type http://localhost:8888 - not to mention all the scripts or other pieces of software that "just work" using the canonical name and standardized port to connect, and would require customizations to change that)

With Sshuttle you got access to all TCP ports. You can add hosts in /etc/hosts, ~/.ssh/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/ssh_config, dnsmasq, or aliases in your favourite shell. If you prefer port 80 and it is being used on local host already you can manually do what ZeroTier does: add a /32 or /128 to an interface and route it.

I just tried ZeroTier yesterday and it is nice indeed, basically an advanced, open source Hamachi. But it is not rocket science. What I especially like is that you can completely self host.
