I use https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle but it's often too slow. I am wonder if their exist any go/rust equivalent of this project.

Just a clarification ... https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle is the original, now abandoned, sshuttle. Development was taken over by: https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle ... which is the current, maintained version that you should track.
