Simple TCP tunneling using SSH
Initial prototype version is simply some shell scripts that together create a way to dynamically allocate ports for allowing a server to be hosted behind a NATed connection. This is in no way suitable for production use, use at your own risk.
On your publicly accessable server, checkout repo and run:
sudo make install
In your SSH configuration (often /etc/ssh/sshd_config), enable PermitUserEnvironment:
PermitUserEnvironment yes
Set up tunnel using cakewalk new:
$ ./cakewalk new example-server-1
Creating new cakeway tunnel example-server-1
Generating key... OK
Connecting to cakeway daemon... OK
Retrieving tunnel configuration...
Version: Cakewalker v0.1.1
Tunnel: cakewalker@example-server-1
Port: 28001
Done! Use "./cakewalk connect example-server-1 <LOCAL PORT>" to connect!
Connect tunnel using cakewalk connect:
$ ./cakewalk connect example-server-1 3000
Connecting cakeway tunnel example-server-1 to local port 3000...
