All,
-- goal --
I want to be able to "remote desktop" from my house to my office, but a NAT firewall is blocking me and I don't have the ability to open a hole in the firewall. The target machine is a Windows 7 PC.
I setup logmein hamachi, and I've been very disappointed how often it goes down / fails, so I want to use my own infrastructure.
I have a cloud based openSUSE box I can use to build a reverse tunnel on, so I'm hoping a "remote desktop" session can be routed through the cloud based server.
-- history --
I have in the past needed to remotely log into a openSUSE PC hidden behind a NAT router which I did not have control of the router to setup a firewall forwarding rule.
I used autossh on the target opensuse box to establish a reverse tunnel to a cloud based linux server.
Then anytime I wanted to ssh into the target I just ssh'ed into the cloud based server and my connection got forwarded to the target opensuse box.
I hoping to somehow do something similar, but with MS remote desktop this time.
-- ideas --
I'm totally flexible on how this is accomplished. The opensuse server in the cloud doesn't have to be part of the solution, but I suspect using it as a SSH forwarder will be my best option to let me tunnel remote desktop traffic through it most.
Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer
There are some Google hits on autossh from Windows. Google Chrome has a capability as well. But I've not used that on an unintended Windows box. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
