Re: [Astlinux-users] Accessing devices behind Astlinux

Hi Michael,

I don't have any personal experience to share, but Tom Lawrence has a related video [1]

Youtube: SSH Jump Server Access and How To Pivot Using OpenVPN & Proxychains

I suspect this could all be done with SSH+SOCKS (Proxychains) and no OpenVPN tunnel as his example does.

Key takeaways are to encrypt the Jump Server's drive (and backup), keep it local and secure from the internet, limit remote AstLinux SSH access via its firewall and Jump Server ssh key.


Alternatively, some sort of automation to keep the remote AstLinux SSH keys updated from one hardened location.
