This can be done in most of the common browsers and I will show you how to do it in Firefox and Chrome. We need to send our HTTP traffic in the SSH tunnel to be able to reach it and we do that by configuring proxy settings in our web browser. But since you don’t allow any connections to port 80 in the NSG you won’t be able to go directly to port 80. Your server will now listen for incoming connections on port 80. Then run the following command to run a python based HTTP-server on port 80. Cd into that folder and create a testfile ( touch text.txt). Navigate to your home folder ( cd /home) and create a directory ( mkdir testfolder). Step one is to open another putty window and connect to you VM via SSH. In this example CentOS7 was used but it can be done on most machines. You will probably want to make sure that the tunnel works as expected and we can verify that by configuring a simple HTTP server on the VM. Click on ‘Open’, enter your SSH credentials and press enter and the tunnel should be up and running. Now the tunnel is ready and we just need to start it. That is done by going back to ‘Session’ and enter a name and then press ‘Save’. If you don’t want to configure these settings every time you want to use the tunnel you can save the session. Select ‘Dynamic’ for destination and then press ‘Add’. Add a forwarded port by choosing ‘Source port’. Move on by expanding SSH (+) and go to Tunnels. Then navigate to SSH and check ‘Don’t start a shell or command at all’.

SSH TUNNEL CHROMEBOOK SOFTWARE

After you have installed the software the first step is to run Putty and add the public IP of your Azure VM and select SSH port 22.

SSH TUNNEL CHROMEBOOK INSTALL

If you don’t have Putty installed you can download it from the official website and then just install it. You want to modify the inbound security rule named ‘default-allow-ssh’ and you do that by clicking on ‘Inbound security rules’ in the left menu. The first thing that we need to do is to allow you to SSH to your machine and we do that by configuring the NSG. We start off by configuring the NSG in Azure. You will connect to the VM using Putty and either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. I will also show you how you can limit the access to that port by configuring a Network Security Group (NSG) in Microsoft Azure to only allow your own IP to connect. After reading this post you will know how you can set up a SSH tunnel to your machine so you only need to expose TCP port 22 to the internet. In this post I will explain a method that can be used to connect to your machine securely without any cost.

Have you just created your first Azure VM and are looking for a good, secure way to connect to you new machine without exposing more than necessary to the internet? Maybe you just want to run a few machines and don’t want to spend money on firewalls to configure VPN to your Azure Virtual Network (VNET)?
