SSH tunneling via the router/gateway

  • 772

I have my router connected to the Internet. From the router, I have an ssh tunnel setup like this:

ssh -f tunnelserver.net -L 2000:proxy:8888 -N

This opens the port 2000 on localhost from my router. Now I want this port to be accessible from within my LAN, but it is closed. How can I open it?

I have GatewayPorts yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, if that matters.

ssh-tunnel

    You need to specify the interface that ssh should listen to. Something like:

    ssh -f tunnelserver.net -L 192.168.1.1:2000:proxy:8888 -N

    or change 192.168.1.1 with the IP assigned on your router's LAN interface.
