That's actually something that's better done with ssh port forwarding or an out and out ip tunnel of some sort (ip-in-ip l2tp ipsec etc) leaves you with a much lighter weight device and the browser runs locally on your own machine. for a concrete recipe example try this: ssh -l username bastion-host-name -L 8000:remotedevice-ip:80 which will bind local port 8000 to port 80 in a device accessible from the other end of the tunnel to your bastion host. > > > I’m sure that for the first two items, the 4511 would do.
