Port forwarding (5 minutes)

Now we know the IP and are able to connect to you home PC. We have to make some port forwarding because of using the less restricted Port 443 that will be redirected to the SSH port 22.

Therefore we have to go to the Port forwarding settings of your router. Forward the incoming request on port 443 to the port 22 on the IP of the computer you want to connect to.

If you are not using a router this all has to be done by ….?? I don’t know.

SSH Service (10 minutes)
To provide SSH on your host machine you just need to install a appropriate service. I use the OpenSSH for Windows  (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ ) and it works fine for me. Install it on your host pc. Create the password and the user files as described after the installation of the sshService.

Remote Desktop Connection (2 minutes)
To connect to the RDP service you have to allow a RDP connection. Go to System properties and chose the Remote Tab. Activate “Allow users to contact remotely to this computer” and apply the changes.
Now you can check whether the Service is listening to the port 3389. Therefore type netstat –an |find 3389 in the command line. You should see that the TCP is listening on that port. If not something is went wrong.
