Can I port forward to an established reverse ssh tunnel
- by Ben Holness
I have three computers, A, B and C
A has initiated a reverse ssh tunnel to B:
ssh -nTNx -p 443 -R 22222:localhost:22 [user]@[server]
If I log in to B, I can use 'ssh -p 22222 localhost' and I get a login prompt for A.
If I try 'ssh -p 22222 [public IP of B]', it doesn't work
What I would like to be able to do is have C connect to A without needing to login to B. So from C I could 'ssh -p 22222 [public IP of B]' and I would get the login prompt for A.
I am using debian and shorewall and I have a basic understanding of how things work. I have tried various combinations of REDIRECT and DNAT rules, but haven't had any luck. I have tried using the same port (22222) and a different port (forwarding 22223 from C to 22222 on localhost).
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ben
