Then reboot to make sure the connections establish. The first line forwards the Minecraft port and the second line will forward port 8443 on the VPS to port 443 to a server on your network. Here’s a quick example to forward two ports.
#Should verizon in home agent be going to the wireless login install#
On “wormhole”, make sure autossh is installed (apt-get install autossh) and create a file called /etc/cron.d/autossh You’ll need to do it once to get the key fingerprint. At this point you should be able to ssh into your VPS from your wormhole VM without using a password. Then copy /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on wormhole to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on your VPS. I’ve got an Ubuntu VM under VMware named “wormhole” for this purpose. Now, you need a Linux/FreeBSD server on your LAN.
Login to your VPS server, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and enable GatewayPorts… GatewayPorts yes The OS/Distro doesn’t matter too much, I’ve done it with FreeBSD and Ubuntu. You should look at the best VPS provider for your location, but if you decide to use Vultr use this link to sign up and I’ll get $10 (two months of free port forwarding). Vultr has quite a few locations, including a location in Seattle so I setup a VPS. # mtr Īs you can see from the trace route my Verizon Wireless connection usually routes out through Seattle. What you want to look for is a VPS near the location to where your Verizon connection routes out. Signup for a cheap cloud server / VPS (Virtual Private Server). You can do this easily with a $5/month VPS. Sometimes you need to be able to forward ports to devices on your LAN and this is impossible to do when you’re behind a Verizon Wireless NAT.īut, it is possible to create a port forward by using ssh to create a reverse tunnel from a remote server back to your house. I thought I’d do a followup to my last post, because this is another issue with Verizon Wireless.
