SSH tunnel over SSH tunnel
 

I have a setup of 3 computer, 2 of which are servers, and am trying to set up a secure connection between them. The setup goes "my computer"->-"local server"->-"remote server". I currently have an ssh proxy set up to the local server from my computer. I would now like to set up another ssh proxy from my computer to the remote server, via the local server. Is this possible?

Can you explain in more details? What OS do you run? Can you ssh direct to remote from your computer?

I am currently running Ubuntu 9.10. My computer is stuck behind a firewall, which is causing me problems, especially with ssh. The local server does not have this problem. I want to use an ssh tunnel (ssh -D 8080 -fCqN local-server) to the local server to be able to tunnel the ssh traffic around the problem firewall. In short I want the create one ssh tunnel, and then route a second ssh connection over the first tunnel.

if your computer is behind a firewall blocking ssh traffic out, then it doesn't matter where you are wanting to go, until you open port 22, your not going to be able to connect.

Perhaps what you're attempting to do is similar to what's being attempted, and answered, here:

cheers

Here's how I would do it:

In a free terminal:
Then, if you want to connect to the remote server directly, you can just connect to port 2222 on localhost.

For instance, if you want to proxy through the remote server: ssh -D 8080 -fCqN -p 2222 localhost

Thanks everybody.
