That reminds me, I keep meaning to look into seeing how hard it would be to add a reverse mode to spiped.
Right now it acts like a ssh -L tunnel, but doesn't have a mode where it acts like ssh -R, right?
- cperciva 10y agoThose are really the same thing, considering that you run a copy of spiped on each side.
- justinsaccount 10y agoOh? Maybe it's just that the documentation specifically mentions ssh -L but not ssh -R. Can you do something like run spiped on a machine behind NAT or on a dynamic ip address to create a reverse tunnel via a publicly reachable host?
- cperciva 10y agoWell, spiped lets you say "when connections arrive here, encrypt/decrypt them and send them over there". But if "over there" is behind a NAT, there's no way to do that; you would need a persistent connection, which is what ssh does and what spiped is designed to avoid.
