Quick and Dirty SSH Tunneling | Linux Journal

was the video I saw so how do I set my my home network for this?

I want to be able to access the computer for files and programs so I will need x forwarding. I also want to use firefox for web broswing. Is their a way to do this with sshfs to mount folders?

for web browsing
ssh -C -N -L 8888:192.168.1.1:3128 spowers@homeserver

for programs
ssh -C -X -L 8888:192.168.1.1:22 spowers@homeserver gnome-terminal

How does the place from home let say free wifi tea shop know the home address of 192.168.1.1ort? what do i need to do to my router?

You need to setup port forwarding on your router to send incoming requests on ports 3128 and 22 to the IP of the computer on your network.

And using a (free) domain name is cool, too. Check out dyndns.org. You just need a client running on a PC in your LAN that will auto-update the ip address-to-hostname on dyndns.org once a day or whatever. then you can "ssh myhomeserver.dyndns.org" instead of trying to remember the IP address your home ISP gives you. Plus, that ip address can (and will) change on you, unless you pay for dedicated ip, so having the domain name removes that uncertainty.
