We would like to access a embedded (linux based) device behind a corporate firewall in a production facility.
We would like to have telnet / ssh access to the device, but offcoarse our client doesn't want to open any ports so we can access our device.
Only outgoing http/https ports are opened towards the internet.
We can install a server at our office with a fixed WAN ip adres where the device could open a tunnel to.
This seems to be a trivial problem with all the IP based tools / software we have today, altough i don't find the right solution.
I found hardware solutions provided by companies as eWon and Lantronix, this seems to be great for accessing a PLC or so, but as we can install any software on our own device, i would prefer a software only solution.
Are there any lightweight 'VPN' solutions that could be tweaked ?
Any pointers welcome.
