To allow Linux Harbour’s engineers to access your system via SSH remotely, you should provide the following information to us.

• IP Address of your system
• SSH Username & Password
• Root Password

Reverse SSH access

If your firewall blocks remote SSH access to your system (ie. the opessh-server running on your system), reverse ssh access is an alternative method.

For reverse SSH access, please use the following ssh command to allow Linux Harbour’s engineers to access your system via SSH remotely. For the SSH hostname & port, and our SSH username & password, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our engineer.

ssh -p {SSH_PORT} -R localhost:7070:localhost:22 ${USERNAME}@${SSH_HOSTNAME}

Check IP address

To check your IP address, you can check it from router.hk on the web browser if your system is on the same network as the web browser, otherwise please use the following curl command.

curl https://router.hk/ip/
