General SSH tunnel RDP

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this,

Could you please specify the version of RDM you are currently using?
What type of data source are you using?

We do have the following knowledge base article regarding configuring an SSH Tunnel in RDM:
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/kb/how-to-articles/setup-ssh-tunnel/

Would this be what you are looking for?

Best regards,

I'm using V2024.3.10.4 on a Mac. Local Datasource

I used that kb article but it means I will have to create a separate ssh tunnel for each rdp connection as it requires I put in the "remote ip / host" for each ssh tunnel as per my sentence before I mentioned the numbered points. It also forces me to maintain ports for each rdp connection, unless "dynamic" will archieve this?

I just realised I posted this on Windows instead of MacOS, sorry about that, it it possible to move the thread?

Hello,

I just moved it into the proper section.

Best regards,

Hello,

I am a developer for the macOS version of RDM. I looked into your question and I might have an answer for you.

1- Setup your ssh tunnel entry with your ssh server host, port, username and password.
2- In the outgoing tunnel settings, select "Dynamic" and enter a local address and port of your choice ( I just left the default )


2- Create your RDP session with your RDP host, port, username and password as usual
3- Go into the VPN/Tunnel/Gateway tab, select "Always connect", then "SSH link"

4- Go into "Settings", select the ssh tunnel you created in step 1, and check "Use over secure gateway"

Now, when you open your RDP session, it should open the tunnel using the host of your RDP so you won't need to create a different ssh tunnel for each RDP ( you can have each RDP use the same ssh tunnel in the VPN/Tunnel/Gateway tab ). I hope this is what you want and this works for you. If not, please provide more details about your needs.

Best regards,

Awesome, thank you so much Maxim, this is exactly what I was looking for! Appreciate your help and images.

Just one additional quirk, if I have 2 rdp connections using the same ssh link, when I close one of those rdp connections the 2nd rdp bombs as the first rdp connection closes the ssh tunnel, is there a I way I can say don't close if something else is using it?

Lastly for the original q. how to mark as Solved?

Hello,

I am glad I could help !

To prevent the tunnel from closing, you can set every RDP session sharing it to use the same VPN group under VPN/Tunnel/Gateway.




And there is no need for you to mark anything as solved.

Best regards,
