I’m running a web/mail server at home, it is publicly accessible on the standard ports. I have SSH running on a non-standard port and can usually connect to this externally, but my day job has a firewall in place that is preventing me from connecting via SSH on that alternate port, even though a port scan from work shows the port is open. The firewall can tell it’s SSH traffic and therefore blocks it.
I’ve been searching for some software that will let me have a web page on my existing server that will bring up a window and let me have a ssh session to talk to the web server itself. I’m finding a few web SSH packages out there, but these provide a new service listening on a new port, I need this to be served up from the existing web server without using a new port, so it would have to play nice with Apache. I’m only needing it to talk to one specific system, in this case localhost.
