Remote debugging - how to create a port proxy?
google-chrome, google-chrome-devtools, iptables, portforwarding, remote-debugging
Solution
I found my answer here. Everything comes down to this:
- open Chrome in one console: `google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222`
- and set up a proxy in another one: `ssh -L 0.0.0.0:9223:localhost:9222 localhost -N`
- now you should be able to access remote debugging from another machine via `http://192.168.1.123:9223/`
Problem
I'm trying to access remote debugging port running on box A (Debian) from box B (Windows). On box A I'm running Chrome with `--remote-debugging-port=9222` flag and I can see that it works correctly (I can access `localhost:9222` from another browser on A). Also, I'm sure that boxes A and B are connected because I can access `:80` (apache) running on box A from box B just fine. Thing I need to do now is to allow box B access `:9222` on box A. I've done research on port forwarding and iptables rules but I failed to make it work. EDIT Machine B is Windows so I'm not sure how to use ssh there, I found an app for port-forwarding that seems to work fine. It gives me an error though: "received a connection but can't connect to host-B:9222". So it looks like 9222 is not open for outside connections. Output from netstat on A gives me: ``` root@template:/home/developer# netstat -nap | grep 9222 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9222 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 24300/user ```
