I have a server that we'll call hub-server.tld with three IP addresses 100.200.130.121, 100.200.130.122, and 100.200.130.123. I have three different machines that are behind a firewall, but I want to use SSH to
port forward one machine to each IP address. For example: machine-one should listen for SSH on
port 22 on 100.200.130.121, while machine-two should do the same on 100.200.130.122, and so on for different services on ports that may be the same across all of the machines.
The SSH man page has -R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport listed I have gateway ports enabled, but when using -R with a specific IP address, server still listens on the
port across all interfaces:
machine-one:
# ssh -NR 100.200.130.121:22:localhost:22
[email protected]
hub-server.tld (Listens for SSH on
port 2222):
# netstat -tan | grep LISTEN
tcp 0 0 100.200.130.121:2222 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN
Is there a way to make SSH forward only connections on a specific IP address to machine-one so I can listen to
port 22 on the other IP addresses at the same time, or will I have to do something with iptables? Here are all the lines in my ssh config that are not comments / defaults:
