Hi folks,

I have a Dachstein firewall which I set up over a year ago - it works fine.

But I now want to make a couple of linux servers available to the outside world through ssh.

I thought about port forwarding - but I guess that wont cut the mustard for ssh.

SSH works fine when port-forwarded. The only real constraint is you can only have one SSH listening on port 22. I have ssh port-forwarded to several systems behind various firewalls, typically using ports 221-229 (easy for me to remember), but you can use whatever ports you want.


I guess I have to run ssh on the firewall and do proper ssh port forwarding.

Is there an idiots guide to this that I should read including both the lrp package bits
and the ssh commands.

Start by looking at the -R and -L options to ssh.


-L listen-port:host:port   Forward local port to remote address
-R listen-port:host:port   Forward remote port to local address
