Why would I want to open a tunnel through my firewall?<\/p>\n

Suppose you have a service (HTTP, SSH, etc.) on a specific device (laptop, Raspberry Pi, etc.) behind a firewall that blocks outside access, and you need to share it with a device outside the network.<\/p>\n

Go to NGROK [Link<\/a>] and create an account.<\/p>\n

Find the version for the system you want to share the service from, copy the link, and download NGROK on the host machine.<\/p>\n

For Linux 64-bit:<\/p>\n

wget https:\/\/bin.equinox.io\/c\/4VmDzA7iaHb\/ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip<\/pre>\n
For Raspberry Pi:<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/bin.equinox.io\/c\/4VmDzA7iaHb\/ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip<\/pre>\n
On the host device, extract the zip and add the ‘authtoken<\/strong>‘ from your account:<\/p>\n
unzip ngrok*.zip\r\n.\/ngrok authtoken 1nGTE96CoM7lXK8A0e7FNvg4NiD_6FCzSWB6fV9pgjAHQafoh<\/pre>\n
Run NGROK with the method and port of your service. Example for an HTTP server on localhost:<\/p>\n
.\/ngrok http 80<\/pre>\n
A window will open showing the public address that tunnels traffic to the host device.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Copy and paste the generated address into a browser on any client to get access. The tunneled service stays available as long as NGROK is running. Press CTRL + C to stop it at any time.<\/p>\n
To tunnel the SSH port:<\/p>\n
.\/ngrok tcp 22<\/pre>\n
For help:<\/p>\n
.\/ngrok help<\/pre>\n
\n
BONUS<\/strong><\/p>\n
Try RusTunnel<\/strong> [Link<\/a>], an open-source tunnel service written in Rust that replicates the core functionality of ngrok.<\/p>\n
