SSH tunnel and reverse SSH tunnel at the same time on the same port












1














I have a computer A, a server B (Azure VM) and a second computer C. I want to connect from A to C through the server B.



Setup:



A: ssh -i location_of_private_key -L 12000:public_IP_of_B:20000 user@serverB

C: ssh -i location_of_private_key -R 20000:localhost:12000 user@serverB


Testing:



A: nc localhost 12000

C: nc -l 12000


But the first testing command (in A) fails, I can't establish connection to B on port 20000.



What am I missing ?

You are making a couple of mistakes:




  • Port forwardings by default listen only on localhost so that's what you have to connect to in the first command.

  • You need to start the listener before you try to connect to it.


Fix those two mistakes and it should work.

  • Whoo, I was 10000% sure I had also tried to start the listener first (this is quite logical ^^). But maybe I had another mistake somewhere else. Anyway, thanks a lot, this fixed my problem ! :)
