SSH Reverse tunnel? https://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling He can map a port (above 1024 of course) on your machine to port 22 on his machine. Allowing you to SSH to that port on localhost and the tunnel takes you to his SSH server. He typically needs an account on your end, there are various discussions on how to limit the access needed for that account. You need an account on his end. You can also get clever and run a command his end to connect you to bash directly, but passwords have their place, far less chance of messing up a command and letting the world and his dog in if you still have to authenticate. There are plenty of example of setting it up to run at boot, and writing the SSH config so you don't have to remember arcane commands if you have to ssh to your server, and then from the server to him, you can say "for these servers always prefix my ssh command with ssh into my server". -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
