How do I forward specific network traffic securely to another host?

silverblimp · 04-19-2009, 06:38 AM

I want a my debian box to forward all traffic incoming from a certain port to a remote host securely.

traffic should pass automaticaly like a secure proxy:
pc --> my pc --> host

I tried port forwarding using "ssh -L" but couldnt make it work.
apparently this only forwards traffic sent to the local port from the local machine.
Im hoping for easy solutions...

Thanks.

Try adding the -g option.

thank you for your reply.

I have and now anyone trying to telnet to my pc is routed just as i wanted.
However attempting to ssh gives a man-inthe-the-middle-attack warning.
I will attempt to solve this and post the result.

scratch that. ssh works.
erasing the known hosts file will allow the remote client to get the remote hosts ID
as the one for my pc.
thanks again.
