I’ll build it from scratch if I have to, but frankly I’d rather leverage something already out there, especially if it’s free or open. It seems to me that such a Web-based reverse SSH tunnel manager solution, to accept and track these connections, should already exist. I imagine that someone must have built a Web-based front end to get user data (e.g., name of remote site) and assign a port that the reverse tunnel can connect on, and then to provide that information to the users of that remote support server. This works great for a single system with significant user interaction at the remote site, but doesn’t scale to a larger number of remote sites requiring simultaneous access (different port numbers required on the internal “remote support server”, different ports needing to be specified on the remote side). The obvious solution here is to use SSH reverse tunnels, and for the Support people to ssh into that port. A connection can be made by pressing Enter on the highlighted line.I need to build a single “remote support” server that users can establish connections to from their systems, and for my support people to be able to ssh into a port on that box and connect to the remote system. You can reverse the order by pressing the same "sort" key a second time. The display shows 4 visible columms but we treat username and server address as separate columns for sorting purposes giving us 5 controls for sorting. If your desktop captures F-key input, you can instead sort by pressing in the "Conn" text box. Use keys F1 through F5 to sort by columns 1 through 5.
