Routing SSH

arachnoid · 4 Sep 2007 at 16:34

I've got a machine running Debian on my home LAN and I can connect to it from the other machines on my LAN using putty.

I've set up a route on my firewall that should redirect Port 22 to the linux box but I don't seem tobe able to connect. I copied the settings for this route on my firewall, changed the port to 80 and started apache and there was no problem; I could view a sample page just fine.

Is there a config setting I need to set to allow routed ssh?

Thanks

Cheers for the responses.

It's correct then that it should just work assuming that the ports are forwarded correctly? I thought maybe there was some clever setting in SSH that might deny WAN connections.

Sorry Growse, whe i said Firewall I meant the firewall on the router. Just didn't make myself clear.

that sounds like a cool plan, i like the idea of exposing a port other than 22. I'm sure i'm forwarding port 22 correctly to the machine insinde the netowrk. Maybe i'll try playing with hosts.allow again and see if i can get things to work.

Riddler,

I'm sure i remember that name, were you a poster before the big hack of 2002?

My version of the firmware for my router sees a route as creating an opening in the firewall. My g/fs router(same hardware newer firmware) doesn't let me do routing. I wonder if that's the problem there? Maybe they've fixed the way i normally do it between versions.

Thanks

lol yes I was, one of the original OcUK members and Mod of the Dist.Comp forums.. Back when Werewolf and I got some of the first Durons to come into the country and Oranjeboom overclocked his slot A Athlon to >1GHz with a goldfinger device.. aah, great days

I remember the hordes of people trying to hit 1 GHz before the millenium arrived. I'm sure all the people i remember doing it at the time had used cyo cooling to get the score. I do remember some great SETI battles and many parps back in those days.

These days i pay my own electricity bill and don't have a DotCom's IT resources backing me so the distributed computing has all but disappeared from my life. It used to be great fun though. I guess priorities change.
