I am the worst at writing blogs. I seldem get excited enough to write anything. But today…. TODAY! I feel like this is going to be a good blog.<\/p>\n
A fanastic blog… anyway, so I moved into a new place, but have my server still running at my old place I run a very lightwheight server from there. If you haven’t heard about DDWRT, I’d suggest you check it out here<\/a><\/p>\n Anyway, while i use SSH tunnel to manage this router via CLI, I can always tunnel its web management interface port, to my local machine and manage it that way too. As it turns out, there is more tweaking required to do this that I first thought, like disabling the SMB service at start-up, and using a loopback interface.. Bye for now….<\/p>\n Jan 2018 Update<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n These are always neat tricks to keep in the back of your head, even if your playing around just for fun. I wouldn’t see the real world use for this type of hack today as everything is pretty much OpenVPN or some other VPN solution. Still love my SSH though.<\/p>\n Lucky the link is still active otherwise this post would be as useless as tits on a bull.<\/p>\n
\npssssst, it’s really just a router but perfect for hosting a network shares, torrents, web servers (cough this page<\/del>), ssh and smb (cough this as well<\/del>)<\/p>\n
\nYes most changes does cause it do it a soft reboot and breaks the connnection, a simple reconnect after a couple minutes useally all it takes.
\nI figured I’d just forward the servers SMB port just like I do most of my other ports… to my dismay it didn’t work… so I decided to GOOGLE!<\/p>\n
\nIf you have a Windows share server (SMB) at home and happened to have SSH for management also available, then check this link<\/a> out!<\/p>\n
