Proxy-type thingie..?

[sarumont]

Apparently I don't have an external IP at this apartment complex of mine, so I won't be able to ssh from skewl...So...does anyone know of any site or anything that would serve as a proxy-type thingie for me to access my machine remotely?

I'm not sure what you mean by not having an external ip.
Post what you get from: /sbin/ifconfig

[flw]

How often does your provider make you change ip's?

[sarumont]

ventricle: my IP on eth0 is only accessible from inside the LAN (they said we're not fwalled, but I guess they were wrong)

ifconfig gives me one address (10.*.*.*), but then anything else (i.e. IRC servers, http://www.whatismyip.com) gives a different one (66.*.*.*).

Neither of these are accessible from outside the LAN, though only the ifconfig is accessible from inside. So I'm guessing that the gateway/router's externel IP is that one.

My lease time is 86400 and my renewel time is 43200 (as per /etc/dhcpc/dchpcd-eth0.info)

im not 100% sure if it is possible, have a look at http://www.employees.org/~hek2000/pr...irewallTunnel/ i dont know how good it is to your situation though.

That's exactly the type of thing that I need...Now all I need to find is a machine to serve as the frontend.

Use a dynamic dns service like this http://www.dyndns.org/

wouldnt you be able to ssh to the ip that your router has and then redirect the ssh(port) to the ip with in the lan. i dont see why that wouldnt work
i dont know what port ssh uses so i cant help on that but i would think that would work jst find wouldnt it.

[jasonlambert]

SSH is port 22/TCP

It would not appear to be a firewall on your host, but a router performing NAT.

A lot of router's all you to setup "port-forwarding", which means incoming requests to a particular port on the external interface of the router are routed to an internal IP address and port.

yeah so that should work right.
