Hi all,
I find devio.us to be a great asset. It is a public OpenBSD box that I can ssh into and do pretty much anything as a standard user (such as host websites, compile software, IRC etc...).
However, it does not allow reverse ssh gateway tunnels which is probably done so people cannot take advantage.
Basically if my computer at Uni or home has a web server running on port 80, I can ssh into the devio.us box with something like:
And then anyone can access my web server at http://devio.us:7896
Unfortunately devio.us does not allow this. Does anyone know anywhere which does provide a free anonymous ssh gateway server? I don't really mind about paying for it but being anonymous is certainly a benefit that everyone should strive for. If nothing like this exists I might be tempted to start a service like this up and open it up to a reasonable number of people.
