RDP Session via SSH Tunnel

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to the Devolutions forum.

I am not sure I clearly understand your question. Could you please rephrase it?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you.

I'll try.

The link I posted in the first place shows how to set up an ssh tunnel and then drive an RDP session through that tunnel. So, to get to RDP machine AAA I first have a tunnel to machine A which can see AAA. It can also "see" BBB, CCC and DDD (all Windows hosts).

Here is the RDP session:



and here is the VPN tunnel definition.



So rather than have a destination defined, we want to be able to pass into the tunnel the IP address of the destination. We imagined we could use a construct like $TARGET$, passed in from the RDP session to the VPN session. Something like this:


This way we can one single tunnel defined and used for multiple targets.

I hope this clarifies.

Hello,

Perfect, thank you for the clarification. In that case, you can create an SSH tunnel entry and link it to the RDP entry.

Please follow these steps:

1. Create a new entry and select SSH Tunnel.
2. Enter the information, then click Save.
3. Go to the properties of the entry you want to link (you can select more than one with Ctrl + Click).
4. Go into the properties of the entry.
5. If you have selected more than one entry, right-click on one -> Batch Edit -> Edit Entry (General Settings).
6. Go to the VPN/Tunnel/Gateway section.
7. Select "Always Connect."
8. Change the type to "SSH Tunnel."
9. In the settings sub-menu, select the session you created from the dropdown menu.

Best regards,

So we looked through this. It seems to be the standard RDP over SSH Tunnel that we followed in the first place.

Let me try again. We want to use ONE single tunnel to reach MULTIPLE RDP hosts.

We do NOT want to have to create a single tunnel for each target RDP host.

Hope that clarifies (or that I have completely misinterpreted).

Hello,

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

These documentations links will help you configure a connection for multiple sessions:

https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/kb/rdm-windows/how-to-articles/configure-vpn-multiple-sessions/#configure-the-vpn-settings-on-the-parent-folder-entry

https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/kb/rdm-windows/how-to-articles/vpn-group/

I know these are for VPN connections, but you should be able to follow the steps with SSH tunnels.

If you have any additional questions, concerns, or require further support, please let me know, and I'll be more than happy to help.

Best regards,
