I live in a student dorm (off-campus) and all students of the dorm share the same WAN IP (Internet or public IP), which is fortunately static. I am not an admin and have no control over the router that assigns private IPs to all of the students, so I can't really forward port 22 to my computer.
Is it still possible to establish an SSH connection to my dorm computer from a computer on campus?
4He's not circumventing a security restriction, and I think that realistically finding the right person to talk to at a university is going to be just as unlikely as them being willing to change network settings for you. By solving the problem yourself, everybody wins. – RJFalconer – 2009-12-28T21:58:44.283
1Actually I recently found somewhere in the obscure documentation of my dorm network that each each student is assigned a port from higher ports for the ssh-server. So I run the ssh-daemon on my laptop and make it listen to that port instead of 22. Problem solved!! :) – Aamir – 2010-01-08T15:58:19.117
