reverse ssh tunnel

[jhu]

My internet connection is unfortunately behind a NAT, and I'd like to access my computer every once in a while when I'm away. I've been directed to free-ssh.com for such things. Anyone use them before or have any other suggestions?

I've setup copssh before.

hmm... I'm a little suspicious going by this statement on the free-ssh.com website:
To better sharing the SSH port forwarding connection among all users, the free shell account password changes every 12 hours, please bookmark this page to latest password;

So does everyone use the same account name "free" and password for 12 hours?

I'd get a cheap VPS and SSH through that. I would not really trust a 3rd party service for that stuff, but that's just me. I'm sure there's lot of legit ones out there, but I rather host that kind of thing myself and have full control.

You can also do a reverse open VPN setup. I used to do that at work before we got a VPN solution. I'd VPN to my house and let it running, from my house I could then remote my work PC.
