I need to vnc over ssh to a machine behind a firewall. I can run: ssh -R 5900:ipaddressoftargetPC:5900 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
on the target machine and it successfully causes myhomefirewall to listen on port 5900 and forward that traffic to ipaddressoftargetPC behind the target PC's firewall. I know this because I can ssh to myhomefirewall and do: telnet localhost 5900 and I get back traffic from the vnc server running on the target PC. However, what I want to do is run a vnc client on a machine behind myhomefirewall and connect to the target PC. How would I do this? The machine myhomefirewall is an OpenBSD box, so I'm suspecting I need to change pf.conf, though one the other hand, it seems I should be able to connect via ssh to myhomefirewall and some how get to port 5900 on the target PC. ??? I tried a number of different methods on the third machine but now my brain is a little fuzzy. Can anybody hit me with a cluebat? Thanks, John Hebert
