SSH Tunneling to repeater

Post by sorenmalling »

Hi,

My first post in this forum :)

I'm trying to setup a remote support system, using the Linux Repeater on one server and then create connection from viewer to server through the repeater.

It works well when writing the hostname in the helpdesk.txt file and connecting, but i would like to use SSH Tunneling, to encrypt and secure the data stream between the Server <-> Repeater <-> Viewer.

For this purpose I'm using plink (from here) to create port forwarding, but after I've created the port forwarding i can't see any connection to the repeater.

I've been searching high and low in the forums without finding anything, so I hope someone can tell me in what way the tunneling should be set up, in order to get a connection to the repeater?

Please tell me, what i need to post from my setup in order to give the information needed.

Thanks in advance

checkout vnc2Me ... should do what you want, without needing repeater

I've been looking at the VNC2ME solution, but I need to pack each server and client with some specific information and therefore i simply need to know the correct command line for plink.exe in order to use localhost as host, which is then tunneled to my repeater.

Now im using

Code: Select all

plink.exe -v -P 22 -l SSHUSER -batch -pw SSHPASS -R 5501:localhost:5901 -T REPEATER.DOMAIN.TLD
But i can't get contact to the repeater with using localhost:5501, so i would like to know, what I'm doing wrong. In my repeater i've set the listen and viewer port to 5501 and 5901[/code]

try -L instead of -R ...

-R : remote port tunnel (from server to client)
-L : local port tunnel (from client to server)

please let me know what other type of data you need to include, so I can add the possibility of having that in vnc2Me (if I think its a good idea)
