What is HUJI/CSE remote access?
HUJI/CSE allows remote access using Secure SHell connections (SSH), here we will describe how to access different resources.#N#Ple ase note that remote connections are only enabled for servers/clusters and not for workstations, aquarium computers or other lab machines.
What is a tunnel in Huji?
To allow access to more advanced services inside of HUJI it may sometimes be useful to create a Tunnel, allowing a connection directly from the users machine to whatever internal service they are seeking running over the encrypted channel created by SSH.
What can I run on a remote CSE server?
Using this connection type you can run applications which normally use a graphical user interface (GUI), such as emacs. For this to work you need to run an X server on your computer. The applications you run on the remote CSE machines connect to the X server in order to display windows on your own computer.
What happens when a user connects to a gateway?
Therefore when the user connects through the gateway they have to already tell the machine ahead of time to which host they will connect. If this is not done the system will attempt to drop into a shell on the gateway, discover that the user is not allowed to access it and close the connection.
Can you route internet traffic through a host?
It is possible to route your internet traffic through whatever host you are connecting to. This is used to allow access to resources that would otherwise only be accessible from inside the HUJI/CSE networks (think of journal databases, internal websites). This is done by setting up a socks5 proxy and configuring your browser to use it.
