Re: [FW-1] Secure Remote and X-Windows



One of the solution to this problem is:
http://www.phoneboy.com/faq/0164.html

Which can help in setting up any outgoing traffic  from your internal network
to *trusted* (authenticated) securemote clients.

SSH is great with encryption and X11 tunneling. But it comes with great
danger of port forwarding as a side effect. We generally recommend not to
open SSH connection for Securemote users because SR users can setup a port
forwarding tunnel and can expose contents of your internal network.  You can
sort of disable SSH port forwarding at SSH server side but considering all
new OS is/will be coming with SSH server and port forwarding ON by default it
may be difficult to monitor all such hosts on your internal network.

I wrote SSH portforwarding notes in past so I hope that would be helpful to
understand goods and bad with SSH port forwarding.
