SSH TCP Forwarding to access services from the remote servers network

Back

Recently I had the problem that I set up my Homelab again and didn’t do it from home. In other words, I was in an external network and only had the option of opening an ssh connection to my Proxmox host.

But now I had to access the web admin interface of my internal router to configure the reverse proxy.

The solution was to enable my SSH remote endpoint for RemoteTcpForwarding.

To do this, the AllowTcpForwarding option must be activated in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:

AllowTcpForwarding yes

Afterwards you have to restart the ssh service to reload the changed config:

sudo systemctl restart ssh.service

Then on the local machine I was able to forward the remote networks servers port 192.168.0.1:80 to the local port 3434:

ssh -L 3434:192.168.0.1:80 network@jfuerlinger.ddns.net

🚀🚀🚀 Mission accomplished 🚀🚀🚀
