access another computer

[JCsound]

Hello, is there a way for him to make the connection instead of the machine's localhost make the tunnel from another machine that is on the network? I want to have remote access to these machines but I can't install other programs...

Hello,

You can set up "ssh server" and expose with jprq. Then you can ssh into your machine remotely.
If you can't install other programs, then you can try "reverse shell" but it's not secure

[JCsound]

would you explain me better how I do using the ssh server?

[azimjohn]

This doc looks like a good start:
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-openssh

Understood, I will give a see the best way to make this configuration. It would be really cool in a future update to have the function to tunnel another machine in an easier way.

[JCsound]

That's right, but it would be a really cool feature to have in this project.

I have a similar requirement. I have an IOT device running esp8266 that I want to expose over the internet for webhooks.

I cannot run jprq on the IOT device. So, the workaround I used with ngrok using
ngrok http iot_device_ip:80, which is not supported on jprq.

Alternatively, if it is possible to run jprq as arduino library, that works even better. But I believe that will need more effort for a specific use case. Forwarding the port to another system should be easier.

As a workaround, I can potentially reserve a port on my jprq client system and use iptables to forward requests to that port to iot_device_ip:80.
