Introduction

Connect your private service from SSH is really meaningful, if you visit your Personal Document/Information/Private Key, this is a good method.

1. Start your remote service on your cloud computer

We take Google Cloud as an example.

This is a 3x-ui service

We can see that our opened service is a web service, to speak of, I have already deploy my service on https, if you have not deploy your ssl certification, the best way is accessing your service from ssh forwarding.

2. Install and Config SSH Connection

3. Connect SSH and Set SSH forwarding

We can easily get your external IP from your VPS server.

Now, we just use ssh -L command.

ssh -L 7777:127.0.0.1:7777 root@gcp.liweijun.online

The -L option in SSH stands for local port forwarding.
ssh -L [local_port]:[remote_address]:[remote_port] [user]@[ssh_server]

local_port: The port on your local machine where the forwarded connection will be available.

remote_address: The target address you want to reach from the remote server. This can be localhost or any address accessible from the remote server.

remote_port: The port number of the service you want to access on the remote address.

user@[ssh_server]: The username and address of the SSH server you are connecting to.

Why 127.0.0.1: After we connected cloud computer, the remote ip address for “ali.liweijun.online” is itself, so we can replace it with “localhost”.

4. Try it

We now connect our server successfully.

Show our local port:

Connect it from browser:

127.0.0.1:7777

We success now.
