sshfwd
This is a reverse proxy 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:
$ make genkeys # generate the services host keys.
$ SSH_HOSTKEYS=hostkeys SSH_LISTEN=:2222 SSH_DOMAIN=example.com sshfwd # run service on port 2222
For best results place this behind a TLS termination that has a wildcard certificate and CNAME for *.yourdomain.com
on your local machine have a ssh private and public key available:
$ export LOCAL_PORT=3000; export PRIV_KEY=~/.ssh/id_ed25519; sh -c "$(shell http --form POST :2222 pub=@$(PRIV_KEY).pub)"
This will setup a reverse proxy on the example host that you can then use to access the local port. It will print a name unique to your ssh key.
$ http GET romeo-nine-lake.example.com:2222
All accesses to the proxy will have the HTTP request printed out to the ssh connection.
