I would like to SSH onto a remote linux computer from the internet at school, which does not support port forwarding.

I type ssh root@<myipadresshere.com

but of course it fails.

Is there a way to SSH to my remote server using any network I am connected to without the ports being forwarded?

If I type SSH -A root@MyIP , it times out.

  • Note that options can be implied by /etc/ssh_config and ~/.ssh/config -- have you checked those files to make sure the type of forwarding you're explicitly trying not to do isn't enabled by default? See: linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config – Ian C.♦ Sep 8 '14 at 16:59

are you referring to port forwarding or agent forwarding? By default, port forwarding isn't enabled unless you use -L or -R options.

Agent forwarding (for authentication using keys in your local ssh-agent) can be enabled by using 

ssh -A <user>@<host>

Let me know if this is helpful.

  • Ok, well I won't be able to tell you until Monday – Skyler 440 Sep 6 '14 at 3:12
  • Did it work for you? – webmarc Sep 9 '14 at 16:39
  • Nope, it timed out. – Skyler 440 Sep 13 '14 at 16:21
  • I think the network is restricting outgoing on 22 – Skyler 440 Sep 13 '14 at 16:22
  • Try with -vvv and post the debug output so we can diagnose. – webmarc Sep 13 '14 at 18:44
