  • Ok, seems like I need something like $ ssh -L *:8080:deviceIP:80 user@localhost # run on awsonly that I don't have 'deviceIP' but instead a reverse tunnel on port '15872' to get access to the host in the restricted network.... so how do I need to modify this accordingly? Plus what do you mean by It's probably not the best way ? Is there a better way you know of? Commented Nov 7, 2018 at 13:06

    @cerr Your network topology is not entirely clear to me. Are you actually trying to connect your host (A) to a non-directly reachable remote host (C) by establishing 2 different tunnels to a publicly available host (B)? As in "A -ssh> B <ssh- C"? If so, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question - and I will update my answer. Commented Nov 7, 2018 at 13:22
  • Yes pretty much, what I have is (A being my private computer, B the public reachable aws instance, C the Linux host in the restricted network, D the device I would like to reach in the restricted network). What I have going fine is A-ssh>B-reverse ssh>C. What I would like to add: A-http8080>B-reverse ssh>C-http80>D. Commented Nov 7, 2018 at 13:45
