# sshfwd # sshfwd
This is a reverse forward service that uses SSH as the transport. It works similar to ngrok or localtunnel.me.
You run the service on a internet addressible host and ssh to it. Using ssh remote forwards (ie. ssh -R) the port on the remote host will be forwared to
the configured port on your local machine.
on Remote host:
```sh
$ make genkeys # generate the services host keys.
$ SSH_HOSTKEYS=hostkeys SSH_LISTEN=:2222 sshfwd # run service on port 2222
```
on your local machine:
```sh
$ ssh -T remote.example.com -p 2222 -R 0.0.0.0:1234:localhost:3000
```
now if you access `remote.example.com:1234` it will be the same as accessing `localhost:3000`
# Pubkeys
if the env variable `SSH_AUTHKEYS` is set it will require that the client authenticates with one of the keys in the `SSH_AUTHKEYS` directory.
```sh
$ SSH_LISTEN=:2222 SSH_HOSTKEYS=hostkeys SSH_AUTHKEYS=authkeys sshfwd
```
