Localtunnel - access to the hobby room

[viking60]

I sometimes need access to my home network from the outside, The problem is that the boxes are behind a router with a single IP.
My router does not digest dyndns correctly either, so it is a Bingo which of my boxes turn out on the net. But now I have found localtunnel

This one lets me turn on and off the access to my computer via SSH and a proxy service.
I have generated my ssh key before but you can do it like this:

Code: Select all

ssh-keygen -t rsa

then:

Code: Select all

localtunnel -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 8080

The last command assumes that the server you want to make accessible runs on port 8080. Finally, execute the localtunnel command as follows:

Code: Select all

localtunnel 8080

It will generate the web address that you can use from everywhere to access your box.

It stays up until you cancel it so you are in control.
Here is my lamp server on a broken lap in the hobby room:
http://3ymt.localtunnel.com/BCMSb
I will leave it up for some hours. I have put that on port 80.

This thing is easy and works - but of course the security provided by the router is compromised.
