SSH method to access from the remote a resource that's only accessible from the local machine

Question

My company has a self hosted git server that only accepts connections from within the company's network. In my local machine, while connected to the company's VPN, I can access my git remotes as:

ssh://[email protected]:8022/path/to/repo.git

I would like to be able to connect to this git server from a remote machine that I can SSH into but which is not within the company's network, and thus does not have direct access to the git server. So, while my local machine is within my company's network, I would SSH into the remote server and the remote server would connect to the git server by tunneling the connection though my local machine.

Is this possible? How can I configure SSH to do so?

I've done some searching and found many solutions for the reverse problem or how to access locally a resource that's only accessible to the remote, for example this (Transparent access to remote resource on a private network), but I've not found any solution to my use-case.

Answer 1

In case you can install any applications on an internal server, you can deploy a SSH Server, through which you can use as your entry point to the network.

You will need to adjust some flows on the firewall, or even deploy a specific server for such access (which is highly recommended).

Once the server is up and running, and SSH is reachable, you have to secure it by:

1. Firewall
2. SSH Keys
3. SSH Authorized Users using SSH Keys and Passwords
4. Maybe 2FA
5. Limit Login Attempts to overcome bruteforce

This is just from top of my head.
