Install AutoSSH

Install AutoSSH on a remote_host to connect to my main server (local_host) to allow connections from any_host (either at the local location, or at any other remote location) back to the remote host.

Remote location

  1. Verify access from local_host and any_host: SSH from remote_host to local_host:<ssh_port_local_host> with key pair authentication and establish tunnel, requires <ssh_port_local_host> to be open on local location:
    remote_host$ ssh -R <port_to_access_remote_from_local>:localhost:22 user@<domain_name_of_local_host> -p <ssh_port_local_host>

Local location

  1. Verify: SSH from local_host to remote_host through tunnel at <port_to_access_remote_from_local>
    local_host$ ssh pi@localhost -p <port_to_access_remote_from_local>

Any location

  1. Verify: SSH to local_host and establish tunnel from (any_host) <port_to_access_remote_from_local> to localhost:<port_to_access_remote_from_local>
  2. Verify: SSH from any_host to localhost:<port_to_access_remote_from_local>
