What is SSH reverse tunneling?

Question

Accepted Answer

SSH reverse tunneling is a technique to access a remote machine behind a firewall or NAT.

It allows a user to connect to a remote machine that is not directly accessible from the internet.
The remote machine initiates the connection to the local machine, creating a tunnel for data transfer.
It is useful for remote administration, accessing local resources, and bypassing firewalls.
Example: accessing a home computer from work or accessing a private network from a public Wi-Fi.
It requires setting up port forwarding and configuring SSH on both machines.
