Jump host support in client

[timo]

Hi,

is there any way of directly configuring a jump host SSH proxy
in the NoMachine client as it is possible in [removed]?

I’m aware of opening a separate tunnel,
but that is a bit circuitous for some of our users.
Achieving that on an Android device is an even bigger challenge.

Thanks and br,
Timo

Hi Timo,

did you already see the Proxy configuration in the Edit connection in the Player (see image)? Does that not satisfy your requirements?

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

To my best knowledge our topology does not provide a HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy.

We need to go the way opening a tunnel on a jumphost to the remote target like

ssh user@jumphost -L [forwardport]:remotetarget:22

and then connect via SSH protocol to localhost:[forwardport].

That works but including the jumphost-connection directly into
the client would definitely ease the use a lot for our coworkers.
(Even more helpful on client platforms like Android)

Br,
Timo

So, in that case, SSH jumphost support is not available. What you could try is placing Cloud Server on the jumphost server? Cloud Server can be used as a gateway to broker connections to desktops/machines that are behind the cloud server, on the corporate network. Take a look at https://kb.nomachine.com/DT06S00225. This could be an option for you if you don’t want to allow direct SSH connections.

Unfortunately, placing anything on the jumphost server is out of question in our case for various reason.
