SSH Tunnel to bypass port forwarding

[kmax1940]

Hello, anyone have an suggestions on how to bypass port forwarding?

Right now we ship a single camera to our clients and we have to remote in to their system and get into their router and open ports.

Anyone have a solution for bypassing port forwarding?

Maybe some type of ssh tunnel appliance?

Thanks

If you're talking about configuring for remote viewing by the client, a vpn is a much easier ongoing solution to allow it.

Ssh tunneling would still require port forwarding for the ssh service, and would then require a convoluted process of setting up the tunnel every time you want to view anything.

Openvpn has an app for phones where all you have to do after it's set up is click a button and open your viewing app.


What you're talking about is possible, I've done it myself, but it's really not worth the hassle when there's an easier solution that can be set up on a raspberry pi for next to no financial cost.
