[SOLVED] How to connect to Slackware64-14.2 over SSH from Android (over Termux)

FlinchX · 01-02-2021, 03:49 AM

I have this reverse tethering setup using gnirehtet working

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...le-4175686458/

For those who didn't follow the thread: my Slackware64-14.2 has Internet over Ethernet. I hook up the phone over USB cable and gnirehtet lets me use the connection of the desktop so I don't waste the cap on Internet Gigabytes enforced by my mobile service provider.

I have installed Termux and openssh on phone. ifconfig there shows two interfaces:

Code:

tun0: 10.0.0.2

ccmni0: 10.22.104.192 (this seems to be the gateway too)

How do I connect from Termux back to the SSH server running on my Slackware desktop?

What's the output of "ip a" command on your desktop?

It's just eth0 with the real IP that my ISP gives me. No interface with 10. address.

I'd use ConnectBot to do ssh. Not sure Termux can do that.

And where to connect using ConnectBot? To the real IP of the desktop?

That's more like port forward tunnel on both sides.
Have searched "ssh" on that github repo and found one issue,
https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet/issues/316
maybe it's 10.0.2.2

Since both are connected to the net, yes, would use public ip as fallback at least.
