From a Fedora machine, I can ssh to a remote OpenWrt router usiing keyfile, using either ipv4 or ipv6, with DDNS hostnames working as well.
Now, can I use some kind of ssh porting forwarding, such that I can access the remote router's Luci web management interface?
sure, that should work, but you might need openssh instead of dropbear.
Does OpenWrt has openssh-server packages?
did you look in the package repository ?
Thank you very much!
I find this https://oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/inbox/replacingdropbearbyopensshserver
And it is still working for 21.02.0-RC3 .
I still have dropbear listening at port 2222, while openssh-server is listening at 22.
At Fedora side, running this command:
ssh -4v -L 2222:127.0.0.1:2222 user@router
Then
ssh -p 2222 user@127.0.0.1
works.
But when running:
ssh -4v -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 user@router
Then
curl http://127.0.0.1:8080
got connection refused.
-- Finally this works --
ssh -L 2443:127.0.0.1:443 user@router
Then can connect with
firefox https://127.0.0.1:2443
It can be done with dropbear too.
uci set dropbear.@dropbear[0].GatewayPorts='on'; uci commit dropbear; service dropbear restart
AFAIK 21.02 defaults HTTPS, don't know if anything's listening on port 80 by default.
Haven't installed any 21.02 just yet.
It works.
Thank you very much!
Luci is listening on port 80 for http and 443 for https .
