Echoing XTC’s comment here. I never heard of GatewayPorts, but spent hours trying to figure why all my remote port TCP connections were being dropped….

Yes, this article is pretty informative, I used this (SSH port forwarding) in my university to access
high speed proxy server, which was then available only from Labs and not hostel

A better general form for local port forwarding is:

ssh user@remote -T -L [local_IP:]lport:remote_IP:rport

-T: Suppresses login terminal on remote system

local_IP: Specify interface to listen for connections. Allows finer grained control on which interfaces connections are accepted, if system is multi-homed host.

-g appears to be equivalent to listening on local_IP 0.0.0.0

-L can be specified more than once, so you can specify multiple local_IP/lport values to forward on a single command line

If you want everybody on the subnet at work to be able to SSH into your home machine, there’s no -g option for remote forward, so you need to change the SSH configuration, add to sshd_config :

GatewayPorts yes
