[Voyage-linux] Reverse SSH Tunnels

[Robert]

Morning Everyone,

I hope you all had a good weekend.

I'm playing around today with reverse SSH tunnels. We often place our systems behind a client firewall and sometimes we don't have access to configure port forwarding so that we can gain SSH access to our system from the outside world.

I understand that reverse SSH tunnels would allow me to do this? I can configure our system to create a tunnel to the outside world which we can then use to bypass the firewall to gain access, is that correct?

I've done some reading and it would seem that creating the reverse SSH tunnel is very simple. However, I need to ensure that the connection is established and maintained at all times.

Does anyone have any experience with doing this?

Thanks,

Robert
