Public SSH Jump and Port Forwarding Server
I've made a neat service to access SSH over NAT. Unlike ngrok and alternatives with registration, custom software, non-preserved random URLs and ports, this solution is just a remote SSH server which does not require anything more than an SSH client to both host and connect. Technically it allows to publish any service over SSH (web, proxy, any TCP port really), but only with SSH as a destination you'll preserve end-to-end encryption and won't allow my server to snoop on potentially unencrypted traffic. The service is mostly intended to give remote access to the device as fast as possible,…

Public SSH Jump and Port Forwarding Server is a remote SSH server that allows users to access devices behind NAT without requiring registration, custom software, or random URLs. It works by using SSH tunneling to expose any TCP service, though SSH connections preserve end-to-end encryption. Designed for developers and system administrators who need quick remote access to machines, it requires only a standard SSH client on both ends, making setup straightforward for those already familiar with SSH.
