How to use

npm i @taehunss1215/reverse-tunnel-ssh

JavaScript

// Tunnel your local port 8000 to tunneltest.com:8000

// tunnel is a ssh2 clientConnection object
var reverseTunnel = require('@taehunss1215/reverse-tunnel-ssh').reverseTunnel;
// Or you can use the default export for backward compatibility:
// var reverseTunnel = require('@taehunss1215/reverse-tunnel-ssh');

reverseTunnel({
  host: 'tunneltest.com',
  username: 'root',
  dstHost: '0.0.0.0', // bind to all IPv4 interfaces
  dstPort: 8000,
  //srcHost: '127.0.0.1', // default
  //srcPort: dstPort // default is the same as dstPort
}, function(error, clientConnection) {
  //
});

// Tunnel your local port 8000 to a free port on tunneltest.com

var conn = reverseTunnel({
  host: 'tunneltest.com',
  username: 'somebody',
  dstHost: '0.0.0.0', // bind to all IPv4 interfaces
  dstPort: 0, // dynamically choose an open port on tunneltest.com
  //srcHost: '127.0.0.1', // default
  srcPort: 8000, // must be specified if dstPort=0
}, function (error, clientConnection) {
  //
});
conn.on('forward-in', function (port) {
  console.log('Forwarding from tunneltest.com:' + port);
});

TypeScript

import { reverseTunnel, TunnelConfig } from '@taehunss1215/reverse-tunnel-ssh';
// Or you can use the default export for backward compatibility:
// import reverseTunnel from '@taehunss1215/reverse-tunnel-ssh';

// Tunnel your local port 8000 to tunneltest.com:8000
const config: TunnelConfig = {
  host: 'tunneltest.com',
  username: 'root',
  dstHost: '0.0.0.0', // bind to all IPv4 interfaces
  dstPort: 8000,
  //srcHost: '127.0.0.1', // default
  //srcPort: config.dstPort // default is the same as dstPort
};

// Create tunnel
reverseTunnel(config, (error, clientConnection) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error('Error creating tunnel:', error);
    return;
  }
  console.log('Tunnel created successfully');
});

// Tunnel your local port 8000 to a free port on tunneltest.com
const conn = reverseTunnel({
  host: 'tunneltest.com',
  username: 'somebody',
  dstHost: '0.0.0.0', // bind to all IPv4 interfaces
  dstPort: 0, // dynamically choose an open port on tunneltest.com
  srcPort: 8000, // must be specified if dstPort=0
}, (error, clientConnection) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  }
});

conn.on('forward-in', (port) => {
  console.log('Forwarding from tunneltest.com:' + port);
});

If you plan to expose a local port on a remote machine (external interface) you need to enable the "GatewayPorts" option in your 'sshd_config'

# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
Port 22
GatewayPorts yes
