I have a domain that i bought from DynDNS. I pointed the domain at my ip adress so i can run servers. The problem I have is that I don't live near the server
computer... Can I use an ssh tunnel? As I understand it, this will let me access to my servers. I want the remote
computer to direct traffic from port 8080 over the ssh tunnel to the ssh client, being my laptop's port 80. Is this possible?
EDIT: verbose output of tunnel
macbookpro:~ trevor$ ssh -R *:8080:localhost:80 -N
