You should also edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the line GatewayPorts yes back to #GatewayPorts no to disallow forwarded ports to be public.

You can delete the fwd user (or whatever you named it) if you want.

rm configs/ (You could also move it to the trash if you want.).

Only do it if you don't need the key to log into the remote user for something else.

rm ~/.ssh/fwd ~/.ssh/fwd.pub (Or whatever you named it) This will delete the ssh key used to connect to the forwarding user.

Remove the line with the config you picked, save the file and exit.

ls configs Make note of the config you want to remove (there is usually only one).

cd ssh-tunnel-manager (Or wherever you have moved the directory).

But for now, the process to uninstall a connection is: It will only ask you for 1 password, the one for your computer (not the remote server). ssh -p 28401 Try typing this command into another computer.

At the end, the script will output the command to use to access the computer remotely.

If you don't know what SSH port to use, it is probably 22. Then you can specify a new user to be created for the forwarding (the default of fwd is fine). If your remote user is you should enter when it asks for the URL or IP, and root when it asks for the admin account.

If your remote user is you should enter when it asks for the URL or IP, and johndoe when it asks for the account. It will also work if you do have root access, but make sure not to use the root account for the forwarding - create a separate account to use for forwarding only. This option will use an existing user on the remote server to set up the forwarding. If you do NOT have root access on the remote server. StepsĪll these commands are run on the computer you want to access. If you are running it on anything important, make sure to read the script first and see what each line does. I'm not responsible for any damage caused as a result of you using this script. The script is more reliable if this IP address doesn't change, or if you use a domain name.

This could be through Dreamhost, DigitalOcean, AWS, etc. You need access to an account on a server with a public IP or domain name.(It would probably work on BSD and OS X.)
