I keep looking over my ssh_config & sshd_config files and can not find any issues. I keep receiving error: tunnel device open failed. However im still unable to make a tunneled connection. I was using Pageant to initially log in and since i did not specify to putty where my public key was the authentication for dynamic port forwarding was failing. I have double checked my sshd_config file as well and i do have my config file set up with AllowTcpForwarding yes & X11Forwarding yesĪny help into diagnosing this issue is greatly appreciated!ĮDIT: I was able to get my connection to work using ssh -D 1080 once i configured Putty correctly. If i say "yes" to connect then i get a "Permission denied (publickey)." errorĪt this point im unsure if my syntax is correct in my ssh -D command or if my problem is elsewhere. Ive also tried ssh -D 1080 will give me an authentication error.

So in my testing i tried connecting outside my home network and received a similar error ssh: connect to host dell port 22: No rout to host If i am on my LAN i get an error after the connection times out which reads ssh: connect to host dell port 22: Connection timed out
#Ssh tunnel putty socks5 windows 10 windows 8.1#
*dell is the name of my windows 8.1 laptop im using with putty to connect to my SSH server
#Ssh tunnel putty socks5 windows 10 Pc#
I have been following this write up: and i have consulted many others.Īfter my SSH connection to my home PC authenticates im calling the command ssh -D 1080 dell I am trying to create an SSH tunnel (dynamic port forward) to my home PC but i keep receiving errors while attempting to connect. I can SSH into my machine locally using public key authentication (&Putty from my win8.1 laptop) and form outside my LAN without issues. I have a desktop machine in my home which ive turned into a Ubuntu (desktop 14 LTS) SSH server using OPENssh.
