I re-installed Fedora 8 and now I can get a reverse ssh tunnel (from
server to home) by typing on the server:
ssh -R 2022:server.ip:22 home@xxxxxxx
Then when at the home computer, I type:
ssh -p 2022 server@localhost
This works fine. The only problem is the connection always times out
even though I've changed the sshd_config files on both machines to keep
it alive. I've restarted the sshd daemon also. Not sure why the
connection keeps closing.
And the reason this is desirable? You can easily set iptables to accept
ssh packets on 2022 from only your computer, and not run encryption
through encryption. And if you want a real connection, OpenVPN is
probably a better solution.
