Ubuntu Security :: SSH Remote Port Forwarding

May 13, 2010

I'm trying to SSH into my home computer from a remote location outside of my house's LAN and can't figure out remote port fowarding.

The guide here says to use the following:

Code:

I've tried connecting to my home computer through many combinations of the syntax listed above, read the man file, and looked online for help. But can't find out the proper syntax or a good guide that isn't written for Windows users using Putty.

Let's assume for the sake of simplicity that the public IP address of my home SSH server is 123.123.123.123, the private IP address of my home SSH server is 192.168.1.100, my home SSH port is 2222, and the SSH port at my current location is is 22. How would I write out the command?

Every time I try to connect I get a "connection times out" error.

Ubuntu Networking :: Error - Remote Port Forwarding Failed For Listen Port 5500

Aug 7, 2010

When I use the following command:

ssh user@ssh_server -L 5500:localhost:5500 -p 22

everything works fine. I can log in, and local port forwarding is done. Otherwise when I use the command:

ssh user@ssh_server -R 5500:localhost:5500 -p 22

I get an error "remote port forwarding failed for listen port 5500". However when I try remote port forwarding in WinXP by use of putty there is no problem...

Fedora Networking :: Port Forwarding For Remote NFS?

Mar 31, 2011

I'm trying to implement remote NFS in our network

So I read a lot of posts on the Internet, but I don't understand which ports I have
to open/forward for this.

On some posts I see a lot of ports, I don't want to do this.

If this is the case, and I would set up NFS through an ssh tunnel, then do I only need the ssh port and does this mean it will always work if the server is reachable through ssh?

Or is this wishful thinking ?

Ubuntu Security :: Router - Port Forwarding And Network Security

Nov 11, 2010

As it stands I have a small home network operating behind my modem/router. Some of the ports on this are forwarded to my PS3 for gaming but I was looking at forward some for my file server.

At the moment I've forwarded port xxx22 to port 22 on my server for SSH for instance. ANd similarly 21 for FTP (although it doesnt seem to want to connect for any more than a few seconds using that). What I was thinking of doing was placing a small website for a handful of ppl to use on the server too and port forward again - xxx80 to 80. It works just fine but I'm a little concerned on the security front.

As I've moved the port to something different from the outside world I'm presuming I will have already cut the potential for malicious folks to wander in but is there anything else I should be doing? At the moment there's no firewall operating on the server, usually as its hidden behind the modem/router. But if I open this thign up more permanently what should I be doing? I've read a few articles on it but I'm always left with the overwhelming thought of "Thats if theres no firewall in my router" as they just seem to do the same.

Fedora Networking :: OpenVPN And Remote Port Forwarding

Feb 10, 2009

I've recently installed OpenVPN on my dedicated server (Fedora) in order to have full internet access for all of my WinXP clients. In case somebody is interested in the details of the OpenVPN installation, I followed this documentation: Rootserver-as-OpenVPN-Gateway. The installation runs quire nicely, I'm able to surf the net and even file-sharing programs work on the XP clients - at least to some extent. There is a slight problem though: the file-sharing programs complain that they have a "NAT problem" or that they are "Firewalled".

Most likely, this problem can be addressed by configuring remote port forwarding (RPF) on the server. The only routing rules which I've added on the server during the OpenVPN installation are these:
Code:
# initialize natting for openvpn
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 10.66.66.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Let's assume a certain application on a client is listening on e.g. port 1234. How do I configure RPF for this port on the server side.

Ubuntu Security :: Dangers Of Port Forwarding?

Feb 4, 2010

Up to now I've been playing with Ubuntu whilst storing important data elsewhere for about 2 years. Now I'm ready to move to Ubuntu completely but want to address my security.I'm currently using a desktop and server behind a hardware firewall / Internet router. The router has DynDNS and forwards port 80 to the webserver and a port I picked at random to the desktop 22 for SSH with private keys. SSH passwords are disabled.

The first question is, is there a danger of running different security levels on the two machines? I don't care about the server, there is no data on it so I currently forward port 80 and am considering forwarding ports 631 (CUPS) and a port for LDAP. Will this effect my desktop (which has info I don't want to loose).The next question is whether port forwarding / hardware firewall is actually a safeguard against attack.

Ubuntu Security :: Iptables Not Allowing Port Forwarding

Sep 5, 2010

I've got two virtual machines running, the first VM (VM1) has two network interfaces, one bridged with my real lan, one a private subnet. The second VM (VM2) has one nic, only on the private subnet.

I have VM1 acting as a router for VM2, giving access to my real lan for internet access. The problem I'm having is I cannot get VM1 to forward ports 80 (http) or 222 (ssh) to VM2 from my real lan.

Here is the script I've cobbled together from various (foreshadowing!) locations:

Networking :: Shorewall: Port Forwarding Port Is Closed Even After Forwarding?

Dec 12, 2009

I have just set up shorewall on my router running Arch Linux. The external network is on eth0 and the internal network on eth1.I have set it up for masquerading and that works fine and I can open ports to the firewall. But I'm having trouble with port forwarding to my internal machines.The problem I have is that when port 22350 is forwarded to 192.168.1.3 on my local network, checking the port with nmap from a remote computer gives me:

Code:
PORT STATE SERVICE
22350/tcp closed unknown

Fedora Security :: Port Forwarding: Works To Other Device, But Not Server?

Dec 7, 2009

If I forward port 5764 to port 80 to my VOIP device, I can nmap and get a proper connection. If I forward port 5764 to port 22 to my server, it comes up filtered. It even happens if I try forwarding port 80 to my server. So I'm sure it has something to do with my server, but I'm not sure.Here's my Linksys iptables:

Code:
:wanin - [0:0]
-A FORWARD -i vlan1 -j wanin

Ubuntu Security :: Get To The Non-ssl Part Of The Site So The Static Ip Is Resolved And The Port Forwarding All Works?

Jul 22, 2010

I'm having a mare with SSL with Apache. I have set it up and if I go to the follwoing address http://192.168.1.2 it seems to work and the pages are delivered to my browser. However if I try to access it from an exernal PC it will not work.

I can get to the non-ssl part of the site so the static ip is resolved and the port forwarding all works.

Does any one have any ideas (and in fact i think I may have just solved it - Ports - 80 mis open but I haven't done anything with 443. Will check it out and post back.

Ubuntu :: Port Forwarding Crutch - Number Of Apps That Are Unable To Have The Outgoing Port Changed ?

Mar 28, 2010

I'm not that great with mailservers, and just been thrown a curveball with a MS Exchange environment for which there is apparently no solution... yeah, right. But is there a workaround?

The problem is that the site mail (SMTP) needs to be sent via port 26 instead of the commonly used 25. Port 25 is mapped to a mailfilter, which apparently causes havoc with some of the mail, and the techs that have been on site trying to coax the Exchange server to co-operate have said that the only way would be to get rid of the filter.

The problem is that there are number of apps that are unable to have the outgoing port changed and so keep sending mail out on port 25.

I look after the Unix/Linux side of things at work, and I was wondering if there was an easy way to set up a Ubuntu box to receive mail on port 25 and just forward it to the MS box on port 26? So, in other words (and I hope this makes sense): monitor port 25, and forward whatever comes in on port 25 to the server on port 26. Simple portforwarding, or is it? What steps do I need to take?

Security :: SSH Time Out On Login Attempt From Remote Box: Command Needed To Check Port 22?

Dec 1, 2010

I have set up a user to login remotely to our Red Hat 5 server via SSH. A rule in our department firewall enables this user to login from a single static ip address. The ssh port on our server is 22. I am able to login to port 22 from locations within our department firewall. Our administrator says the firewall configuration is unchanged. The remote user had been successful logging in. But now the remote user gets a Connection Timed Out message, before being asked to authenticate by the server.

I regenerated security keys, but the remote user still gets the connection timed out message. (I can login locally with the new keys). I suspect either a firewall or an authentication problem--inclining a firewall problem. Am I correct? Is there a Linux command to check whether port 22 is available or blocked, prior even to authentication, for login from the user's remote location?

Ubuntu Networking :: How To Ssh 9.10 Without Port Forwarding?

Nov 21, 2010

I have a ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop in my office and I have another ubuntu on my home desktop. Both machines are behind a router. I guess many people have already asked the same question: how to remote control the office desktop from my home desktop?Many posts discussed about solving this by setting up ssh and port forwarding. But my situation is that I cannot control the router in my office so I cannot set up any port forwarding for my office desktop. So I guess my question becomes how to remote control my office desktop without setting up any port forwarding on the office router.

Ubuntu Networking :: SSH - VNC - No-IP And Port Forwarding

Mar 26, 2011

I currently use a commercial VPN when working overseas for secure internet access.

I now also need to VNC to a home ubuntu desktop (which runs software 24/7 that I need to periodically check).

When overseas, I use a Ubuntu laptop and an Android tablet.

For the VNC I intend to use an SSH tunnel. So my question is: should I ALSO set up openVPN on the home computer (so I can stop paying for a commercial provider which routes all my traffic twice across the Atlantic...) or is it easier/better to use the SSH tunnel for the secure webbrowsing too? Something like a SOCKS proxy?

Ubuntu Networking :: SSH Port Forwarding For Web Server

Feb 20, 2010

This should be easy but for some reason its not working. I don't have admin rights on one of my local networks to open the firewall for port 80 to make my server accessible remotely (from the internet). I have a remote server (OpenVZ VPS) and I want to port forward so that [url]:8080 will point to my localhost:80 from the internet itself (i can get it to work on the remote VPS server's local network)...

How could I accomplish this? Basically, I am trying to serve webpages from behind a firewall using a VPS as a hub.

I can log into the machine fine from a machine on the local network using the machines internal IP but when I try to log on from a remote machine using my router's external IP or my DyDNS host-name I get a message saying "connection refused" or "connection timed out." I have configured port-forwarding on the router and the firewall rules says that port 22 is open but when I nmap my routers external ip it says that only port 23 and 80 are open. I am very new to linux and networking.
