Talking to a remote router's web server

| No Comments

Got a small router in a faraway office that has a web interface? How to get at it (without turning on the "allow access from public Internet" thing)?

Let's say it's 192.168.0.1 in the faraway office. So: SSH in with tunnel...

ssh -L10080:192.168.0.1:80 me@faraway.example.com

Now use your own web browser to visit http://localhost:10080/; it should be your faraway router's web interface.

Just another use of Fabulous SSH Tunneling...
