Depending on the configuration, Bifröst is doing that. For example if the Docker environment is used, it will act as an proxy between the SSH protocol and the Docker internal session handling.

On top of that, it is doing also doing port-forwarding (into the container or another host) and also reverse proxy for SSH-Agent-Forwarding.

Therefore I believe Proxy is adequate. It might also match VPN... but Proxy (I believe) fits the most.
