This is really for me to remember…..
\nWe all know how to do local tunnels with SSH but this is how to a remote tunnel to get around 2 firewalls.<\/p>\n
Example….. A user on their mac, pc, whatever is behind their DSL router has SSH and Remote Desktop\/VNC available.
\nYou are at work or at your home behind a firewall.
\nYou have access to an intermediary SSH server available on the Internet for both parties to connect to.<\/p>\n
So, for example, a mac user would enable Remote desktop under Sharing and then open Terminal and type:<\/p>\n
# ssh -R 57000:localhost:5900 user@sshserver.somewhere.com<\/p>\n
This breaks down thus:<\/p>\n
-R means create a remote tunnel with a port listening on the remote SSH server
\n57000 is the random port I chose (over 1024) to use on the remote server. For this to work you have to add “GatewayPorts yes” to your sshd_config.
\nlocalhost:5900 = the local port you want the remote user to connect on (VNC)<\/p>\n
Once that connection is made, on the other end of the connection, let’s say its a Windows box (with cygwin for ssh or Putty) you would run:<\/p>\n
ssh -L 57000:localhost:57000 user@sshserver.somewhere.com<\/p>\n
This breaks down thus:<\/p>\n
-L 57000:localhost:57000 means create a local tunnel from the remote port 57000 to local port 57000.<\/p>\n
Once this is connected, on the Windows box, open vncviewer and connect to localhost:57000 and you will connect to the Mac.<\/p>\n
