I wan't to access my pc at work from home through freebsd's sshd. Is it possible?, knowing that it doesn't have a public ip address? That workstation of mine is only gaining internet access through LAN servers and routers. Will it help if I know the gateway ip where my workstation passes through and the proxy as well as dns server's ip's? I know its possible but I can't imagine the process, perhaps something like a reverse network address translation... Any idea?
Hello,
Yes, this is possible. From home, you would ssh to your work's external IP address. You don't specify the setup you have at work, but at a minimum you need to have fowarding rules setup in the company's firewall to direct your ssh connection to your workstation. Obviously, if you can ssh in, so can anyone else. Be sure you use a _very_ good password.
Would using a public/private key not be better? Any password would still be guessable.
