I need your advice.

Brief to my question:

I got two Linux/Ubuntu 18.04 Lts. machines. First one is the host(SSHD) and has a VM machine installed on it(virtual machine's ethernet is configured as NAT: Qemu/KVM - virtualization). Simple SSH connection between host and VM on it in NAT regime works perfectly: ssh [email protected] > pass

First machine is connected to router via LAN and second machine is a ssh-client connected to a router via Wifi.

machine1(host machine, LAN) > Router < (wifi) machine2(SSH Client)

Is there any solution to access VM(on host machine) with machine that is connected to wifi network only? I'm pretty new with Unix/Linux, so I would really appreciate your support with this case.

ens3: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.122.x netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.122.255

P.S. I would prefer not to switch NAT to bridge regime. If you need more data, I will gladly provide you with some more details.

    You need to configure port forwarding on machine1, e.g. port 2222 forwarded to port 22 on the VM guest. There should be various ways to implement it, including adding a netfilter rule with the iptables command. Since this is a common requirement, you will find plenty of tutorials on the internet. Alternatively, it might also be possible to create a route to the VM's address on machine2, with machine1 as router. Apr 18, 2021 at 13:59

If you can ssh to the physical host from your client, and to the VM from the physical host, then simply....

ssh -J [email protected] [email protected]

(alternatively create a ssh_config for vm.example.com with the ProxyJump set to phys.example.com)

If you have KVM Manager (GUI), you can follow this guide with no issues. The process is the same: VMware Workstation port-forwading
