On my laptop, I can open and then open a browser window to SSH connect.įrom the GCP instance hostname tunnel, I guess I am missing something like: ssh-into-machine-A-from-here Gcloud compute ssh -zone us-west1-a tunnel -N -p 22 -D localhost:2210

On machine A: gcloud compute instances create -zone us-west1-a tunnel Here is how far I got following the ssh tunnel on gce instructions: Which makes me guess that the same should be possible on GCP for the final step: for me to be able to open an SSH browser window on the running GCP instance so that I can ssh into machine A from there. For what I can tell, GCP already has a very simple way to set up a tunnel in GCP: We have a Google cloud account and gcloud installed on machine A. The idea is that when I need to assist my colleagues, they will type in the connection instructions from machine A, this will create a running GCP instance, and I will be able to then connect to machine A from the outside using this bridging (proxy?) GCP machine. The possible solution is to use a proxy machine. My laptop does not have a fixed IP, so I can't do straight reverse ssh. It seems one of the options is 'reverse ssh' (related to 'port forwarding' or 'ssh tunnelling').

I would like to occasionally ssh into the machine from my laptop to remotely assist my colleagues, and I looked at different options. machine A) running on OSX connected to a university campus network. I have an Ubuntu 16.04 VirtualBox machine (i.e.
