ssh reverse tunnel with remote ip












2















From a server 192.168.0.1, I'd like to reach a server 192.168.0.2 on port 80.



192.168.0.2 can reach 192.168.0.1, but 192.168.0.1 can't reach 192.168.0.2 (firewall).



I have set up a reverse proxy, by typing the following command on 192.168.0.2:



ssh -f -N -T -R0.0.0.0:80:localhost:80 192.168.0.1


now 192.168.0.1 can reach 192.168.0.2, with the following command:



wget localhost:80


However I'd like to be able to reach 192.168.0.2 by taping



wget 192.168.0.2:80


Is this possible, without messing with the DNS?

You need to define the GatewayPorts in sshd_config otherwise the * or 0.0.0.0 will bind only to the loopback interface.



Also note that




Privileged ports can be forwarded only when logging in as root on the remote machine.




From manual page for ssh:




By default, TCP listening sockets on the server will be bound to the loopback interface only. This may be overridden by specifying a bind_address. An empty bind_address, or the address ‘*’, indicates that the remote socket should listen on all interfaces. Specifying a remote bind_address will only succeed if the server's GatewayPorts option is enabled (see sshd_config(5)).

  • I tried both * and 192.168.0.1, to no success. I don't really know what errors to look for, the only thing I can tell you is that the tunnel itself works (wget localhost:80), as explained in the question, so the error is probably not coming from here. What doesn't work is just the wget 192.168.0.2:80, which is maybe an error with the iptables rule

  • Why do you try wget 192.168.0.2:80? You should try wget 192.168.0.1:80. This is where your port is forwarded, isn't it?

  • Well that's the whole point of my question. Say the server I would like to access is google.com, but I can't reach it directly, though google.com can reach me, I'd like to set up my network so that I can reach google.com transparently without having to change anything. So in the end of this configuration, I expect to be able to type wget google.com, not wget localhost or wget 192.168.0.1, which is my own ip.

I was struggling with this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 (I tried both GatewayPorts clientspecified and GatewayPorts yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config).



Instead, adding this to my sshd_config worked:



Match User !root
GatewayPorts yes


That is, I had to specify a user to match the rule to.

    Well that's the whole point of my question. Say the server I would like to access is google.com, but I can't reach it directly, though google.com can reach me, I'd like to set up my network so that I can reach google.com transparently without having to change anything. So in the end of this configuration, I expect to be able to type wget google.com, not wget localhost or wget 192.168.0.1, which is my own ip.

    I was struggling with this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 (I tried both GatewayPorts clientspecified and GatewayPorts yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config).



    Instead, adding this to my sshd_config worked:



    Match User !root
    GatewayPorts yes


    That is, I had to specify a user to match the rule to.
