Guys,
I managed to get the following working:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A firewall between SERVER and CLIENT only allows TCP port 22 from
SERVER to CLIENT (but not viceversa!)
SERVER -------22------> CLIENT
What I would like to achieve via ssh tunnelling is to send TCP port
1984 traffic from CLIENT to SERVER:
SERVER <-----1984------ CLIENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by running (on SERVER):
$ ssh -f -N -R 1984:SERVER:1984 CLIENT
Now I'd like to add the next (and last) bit of the configuration to the
picture:
There is another firewall between CLIENT and GOOFY, again only allowing
TCP port 22 from CLIENT to GOOFY (and NOT viceversa!):
SERVER -------22------> CLIENT -------22-------> GOOFY
What I would like to achieve via ssh tunnelling is to send TCP port
1984 traffic from GOOFY to SERVER (through CLIENT):
SERVER <-----1984----- CLIENT
SERVER <----------------(CLIENT)----------1984------ GOOFY
Please note that:
a. the remote forwarding of 1984 from CLIENT to SERVER is already working;
b. there is no native process on CLIENT listening on port 1984.
I ran `ssh -f -N -R 1984:127.0.0.1:1984 GOOFY` on CLIENT,
but testing that with telnet from GOOFY, it failed as follows:
[GOOFY]$ telnet localhost 1984
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
So, how do I do that?
Any security issues I shold be aware of?
Thanks in advance
Ciccio
