Thanks a lot for this tip. It works wonderfully. I even created a launcher icon, so all I have to do is click one button to open my terminal and start the connection.

Good article!

I’m using http://www.vpntunnel.se/en/ to surf anonymous and encrypted. It works very well and I only pay €5 for one month with unlimited bandwidth.

Thanks hstagner. You see, the scenenario is as follows: my computer is connected through Ethernet cable to an antenna (a wireless access point) that receives the signal from my ISP. I can’t configure the wireless access point since my ISP has the username and password. Maybe I have to ask my ISP to forward the traffic to my computer? Should I ask for the username and password of the Web administration interface of the access point? Which, by the way, I seriously doubt they’ll do… What should I do in that case?

Hello Fernando,

You need to do what is called port forwarding on your NAT device (server). Chances are, you are using a home router. You need to go into your home router configuration (usually via a webpage) and look for something called port forwarding. You need to configure any connection to port 22 to be forwarded to the internal IP address of your home computer.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading!

Q: ” “If you are using your home computer as the SSH server, you need to find out the external IP address of your home router”

Is that the same IP I get when I visit whatismyip dot com?

A: Yes, whatismyip dot com will give you the external IP address of your home router.”

I want to tunnel my browsing when I’m at college. I’m quite a newbie with networking but I know that my computer at home is behind a NAT server, the IP of my computer is 192.168.1.65, and my external IP according to whatismyip is 200.xx.xx.xx or something, can I tunnel my browsing using my home computer even if it’s behind the NAT server? How would I do that?
