Bridging tunnels
So I'm at a college, but have a shell account at a sever out in the
world somewhere. I cannot VNC into my dorm from the outside world
because of the evil firewall between my dorm and any incoming
connections, so I've come up with a solution: Create a permanent
tunnel from my dorm to a shell account, and then set up the shell
account so that when I create a new tunnel to it, it automatically
links the two tunnels so that it would look like i was connected
directly to my computer in my dorm. Beautiful in theory, but I'm not
sure how to set up the shell account part of the deal. I figure I need
to set it so that the incoming ssh port on one tunnel is dumped
straight to the outgoing ssh port of the other tunnel. But I'm not
sure how to do this, can someone and/or give advice on the
situation at large. Thanks =)
