Windows-10 port forwarding

Below is the command to port-forward in Windows-10. It can be executed in normal command-prompt not in PowerShell. Make sure you’ve administrator privilege. This will be useful in when you run a VM in your Windows workstation. So you can directly ssh to the VM instead of opening RDB every time.

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 listenport=18001 connectaddress=192.168.105.115 connectport=22

Now this machine forwards any incoming connection on port number 18001 to 192.168.105.115 IP’s port 22. To ssh into the machine 192.168.105.115 from an external network, you should issue the following command (provided that windows machine IP is 112.172.29.29).

$ ssh 112.172.29.29 -p 18001
