ssh tunnel

hi guys,

Here's my situation, on my company network port 22 is blocked, on my remote server ssh is on port 22, could I ssh to my nas on port 443 and tunnel to the remote server? I found this article

http://www.verot.net/socks.htm

I've set 443 to point to the nas but I can't seem to ssh using that port? just seems to hang for ages? I also added port 443 to the ssh config.

Any ideas?

    Did you restart the SSH service after changing the configuration file?

    Port 443 is already used for https for accessing Frontview (web-admin page). You'll need to try a different port.
  • Could i set my router to foward external 443 traffic to the nas on another port?

    Some routers can. That would be ideal solution, to port forward to port 22 on NAS.

    What router do you have?
  • I'm currently port fowarding 80, 22 and 443 to the nas and thats working, but i'll have to check if i can forward 443 to 22. The router is Huawei HG521
  • Now just need to work out how to get the tunnel to the other server working
