You can do Remote SSH Full TUN VPN (it will not just do one port forwarding but all protocols) by Doing as below.
You can skip iptables part , these are for sharing connection from remote end. You need to be root on the server machine . >From Gentoo Wiki Archive: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_VPN_over_SSH_and_tun Let's say that machine S will be the vpn server, and machine C will be the vpn client * ssh into the machine S and change sshd_config: File: /etc/ssh/sshd_config PermitRootLogin yes PermitTunnel yes TCPKeepAlive yes # Not required but makes things much more stable. This is default now * then restart ssh on the machine S and quit your current ssh connection * then ssh with this command from the machine C: ssh -w 0:0 the_external_ip_of_machine_S * then inside the machine S do: ifconfig tun0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 note that the netmask is 255.255.255.255 by default so you must add the netmask... * inside the machine C do: ifconfig tun0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 normally each machine could ping each others... * inside Machine A do: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT * inside the machine B do: route del default route add default gw 10.0.0.1 tun0 On 11/23/10, G <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting, that makes sense.
