SSH: Port Forwarding, Firewalls, & Plesk

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I edited my SSH configuration to accept connections on Port 213, as it was one of the few ports that my work firewall allows through. I then restarted sshd and everything was going well. I tested the ssh server locally, and checked the sshd service was listening on port 213; however, I still cannot get it to work outside of localhost. PuTTY gives a connection refused message, and some of the sites that allow check of ports I tried said the port was closed. To me, this is either firewall or port forwarding. But I've already added inbound and outbound exceptions for it. Is this a problem wi (HowTos)

Stories similar to SSH: Port Forwarding, Firewalls, & Plesk

I'd like to accept connections briefly for development when I'm NATed and so I'm attempting to do this:

$ ssh ubuntu@example.org -R 80:localhost:80

Which fails as I'm trying to bind a port that is to low:

Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 80

So I've discovered that I can do setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /my/application to allow it to listen to ports lower than 1024.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my new machine so I can ssh to it. I am able to ssh over my LAN (ssh localhost and ssh 192.169.1.100 from a different machine both work), but when I try to ssh using my public ip address I get "connection refused". I have already turned off the router firewall, moved my machine to the DMZ and turned on port forwarding.

I try to connect to my server from internet and get always:

debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: connect to address XX.XX.XX.69 port 22: Connection refused ssh: connect to host XX.XX.XX.69 port 22: Connection refused

But from local area network with 192.168.... all works fine. Why this difference? Note I tested with telnet XX.XX.XX.69 port 22 is open

[ubuntu] How to open port 31 weeks 5 days ago

How can I which ports are open/closed on my system? I am running Ubuntu 12.04, and to my knowledge there is no firewall running or installed, although it may have been in the past.

I am trying to configure Deluge because currently no incoming connections are being allowed. I checked that UPnP is enabled on the router and also configured port forwarding.

VNC through SSH with Windoze 3 years 18 weeks ago

Ok, I've been shaking my head these last few days trying to VNC into my Linux machine from my Windoze 7 machine using SSH. Here is what I've currently done so far:

I have SSH configured using port 8567, and have opened the tcp port 8567 in my firewall. I am able to ssh into the linux machine using putty on windoze, and do anything on the command line just fine.

simple port redirect 3 years 13 weeks ago

Hi,

I want to do a simple port redirect, i.e. whatever comes trough whatever interface on port AAAA will get redirected to port BBBB

I thought that

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --source 0/0 --destination 0/0 -p tcp --dport AAAA -j REDIRECT --to-ports BBBB

however it doesn't work, e.g. nc -v -w2 -z localhost AAAA gives:

I have set the rules in ufw for Transmission but when I try to use it it will not transfer and it also says the port is closed when checked under preferences.

If I turn the UFW firewall off it still says that the port is closed but it transfers fine. I then can turn the UFW back on and it continues to work.
