JFrog Connect’s Port Tunnel tool enables you to connect remotely to the local network port of your Linux edge device and forward connections such as , , a , and other port-tunneling tools.

The Connect documentation provides example procedures for opening a port tunneling session using VNC, SSH, and a web-view server.

Prerequisites

  • For using a remote SSH session, you will need ssh-client installed on the device. (This is installed be default when you download the Connect Agent to the device.)

  • Depending on which port tunneling tool you use, you may need additional third-party software installed on your edge device.

Tip: No ports need to be open on the device or the firewall for port tunneling to work.

Open Port Tunneling Session

To start a port tunneling session, do the following:

  1. Go to Remote Tools/Port Tunnel in the left menu and choose the device and port you would like to tunnel. The port will depend on the method of port tunneling you use, for example, VNC, SSH, or Web View.

  2. (Optional) Mark Allowed IP and enter an IP address. The port will be accessible only from this IP address. If you do not mark this, the allowed IP will be your current IP address.

  3. Click Open Session. Wait until Connect produces the port tunnel address and copy it to your clipboard

Continue using the specific instructions for the port tunneling tool you are using. For example, see one of the following procedures: , , .
