A full guide for pwnat for establishing an ssh tunnel.

[doronbehar]

Hello,

This tool looks very cool, however I'm not sure I understand how to use it. Is it possible to ask for a full guide to establish an ssh tunnel between two machines behind an NAT and firewall?

Here are things I did not manage to figure out from the README:

Client wanting to connect to google.com:80:

./pwnat -c 8000 pwnat.server.com google.com 80

Why is this the first example given? Who would want to use such a tool to connect to google.com via a proxy? (Besides the chinese of course).

And more: What does pwnat.server.com mean? If I am behind a firewall and a network that doesn't have such a public domain - what should I use? Perhaps should it be the public IP address of the server?

Thanks for sharing this tool, and all other information... Help will be appreciated 🙏 .

I bet pwnat.server.com is what curl ifconfig.me gives on the server side.
And instead google.com 80 I've tried localhost 22 but still can't get it to work.
Am I missing something?
