  • From Linux desktop browser, I want to access the service running on webserver. There is a jump server in between. Webserver IP is not directly accessible from Linux desktop.

You can set up two tunnels:

  • (simple or reverse) LinuxDesk:port1 -> sshserver:port2 - the port numbers don't have to be 8080

  • (simple or reverse) sshserver:port2 -> webserver:8080

You'd then end up with the service at your LinuxDesk at the port port1.

Probably you want a reverse tunnel to the webserver and also a reverse one to the sshserver, but possibly not.

For implementation see man ssh. Just look there for "tunnel".

  • How to access the service from the browser? Is it localhost:8080 or something else?

  • @Thunder It will be at localhost:8080 if you tunnel like localhost:8080 -> sshserver:port2 in the LinuxDesktop. I'm not sure if it will be also available there if you tunnel your outgoing interface, eg. 192.168.0.x. You can check, but you can simply use localhost.
