You can force the use of IPv4 on the commandline with the -4 switch: $ ssh -4 -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 dev.local One of its features is /SSH Port Forwarding/ (or SSH tunneling). ssh -t -R 8080:localhost:80 sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:80. And since IPv6 is a flaming heap of shit not production ready yet, it fails miserably. Next, enter the port number you specified in the above command (1234 in this example). How do I tunnel a port in Linux You can enable this using the GatewayPorts directive in your SSHD main configuration file /etc/ssh/sshdconfig on the remote host. Enter the IP address of your local machine (127.0.0.1 will also work) in the section SOCKS Host. SSH through the proxy Port 80 is unlikely to work, because most places that have firewalls analyse the traffic on that port and block anything that isn’t HTTP. It’s trying to bind on an IPv6 address, not IPv4. Click General, then Network Settings, and click the Settings button. But suddenly, it didn’t work anymore: $ ssh -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 dev.localĪfter checking that the local port was free, and the remote port had Apache listening on it, and testing some other things, I turned on verbose logging for SSH: $ ssh -v -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 dev.localĭebug1: Local connections to LOCALHOST:8080 forwarded to remoteĭebug1: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8080.ĭebug1: Local forwarding listening on ::1 port 8080. Something I must have done for at least a few tens of thousands of times in my career. Just now I tried seting up an SSH tunnel.

Your local SSH client establishes a connection with the remote SSH server.

Unix and OpenSSH: ssh abcdef -R 8080:127.0.0.1:80 abc - username def - server address 8080 - port number that will be opened on remote server - our proxy server 127.0.0. Organizations usually solve this issue by setting up an intermediary SSH ‘jump’ server to accept remote SSH connections. In this section, we will create the tunnel. This would be a severe limitation in a modern distributed environment. Valuable network resources do not generally allow remote SSH access. A reachable IP address or name of the remote/local server.An SSH client/server of your choice (OpenSSH or PuTTY).
