Setting up VPN access
I have 2 Linux systems, with a firewall system in between them. Call them SysA and SysB. From SysA, I can ssh into SysB. But I can't do the reverse - the firewall won't allow my to come back in. Is it possible to set up a VPN between those 2 systems so that I can ssh back to SysA from SysB? I'm not familiar with VPN setups, so this may be a very simple question. If so, what programs do I need to look at and are there tutorials available for setting things up?
I'm running recent Fedora systems (12 and 13) on these machines thanks, nbc |
You may be able use a VPN, but if all your are interested in is SSH, it would be over kill. A VPN would create a virtual adapter that gives the client an IP in the range of the host so that for all practical purposes they are on the same network; just logically instead of physically.
I would suggest that you look into port forwarding on your firewall. In case you haven't already, you should also be sure to secure your SSH server(s) and by that I mean more than use a non standard port. |
