About ssh-connecting

Hi folks,


Broadband connection:-
Server/PC --> Router --> Modem --> ISP
LAMP server IP -192.168.0.52
Local PC - 192.168.0.10
Public IP - 220.232.xxx.xxx


I have been trying 2 days without result to ssh-connect the server via Internet. (This is a test)


Both
$ ssh -p2222 satimis.com

Code:

ssh: connect to host satimis.com port 2222: Connection timed out

satimis.com is the hostname of the server.


$ ssh -p2222 220.232.xxx.xxx

Code:

ssh: connect to host 220.232.xxx.xxx port 2222: Connection timed out

However local PC can ssh-connect the server with;

$ ssh -p2222 192.168.0.52


and the server can ssh-connect local PC with;

$ ssh 192.168.0.10


both without problem.


/etc.hosts.deny is an empty file


$ cat /etc/hosts.allow

Code:

sshd: 127.0.0.1

# Domain
sshd: satimis.com

# Pacific from home
sshd: *.pacific.net

sshd sshd1 sshd2 : ALL : ALLOW

ALL: satimis.com 192.168.0.10 *.satimis.com localhost.localdomain

imap:   ALL
imaps:  ALL
pop3:   ALL
pop3s:  ALL

Also tried commenting out the line "sshd: 127.0.0.1" and rebooted the server but without result.


Please advise whether I can't test the connection in this way? If YES how to make the test. TIA

You need to port forward the port from the internet to the server. but testing may not work if you are coming from the lan.

 

Hi,


Thanks for your advice.


port 2222 already forward to 192.168.0.52

Problem solved. It it the firewall, iptables, stop the connenction.

After adding following rules on /etc/rc.local;

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -s 220.232.xxx.xxx -p tcp --dport 2222 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s satimis.com -p tcp --dport 2222 -j ACCEPT

It is working now.
