All,
I have a machine at my parents house that is behind a ISPs firewall. Console only. No X-Windows, etc.
I've tried to open up the ssh port in the firewall but it is not working. Maybe the ISP is blocking it even earlier.
Is there a service that allows that machine to open an outbound connection, and then somehow from my house tie into that connection for ssh service?
Yes, ssh :-) Use port forwarding from from that machine to your own, and then you can connect back to it. Example: you@parents~> ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 you@home Your home machine is now listening on port 2222, and will tunnel traffic on that port to the parents on port 22 Example: you@home~> ssh localhost -p 2222 Make sure you have "AllowTcpForwarding yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on your home machine. I would try what Per suggested first though.
This is effectively what gotomypc does for Windows boxes.
FYI: I am not concerned about security on this machine / connection. I just need to get into it for administration.
Thanks Greg
