Is it possible to use a reverse ssh tunnel to force all network connection on the remote host through the local host.

Essentially:

local -> ssh -> remote remote web request -> ssh tunnel -> local -> internet

I want the remote to make connections through the locals VPN without having to authenticate on the remote as well

Hopefully this makes sense

    Sure mate.

    I’ve been playing around with networks for decades. I’ll happily admit that my understanding is rudimentary at best, but configuring routing rules with IP tables or whatever so your device will act as a NAT seems a few levels beyond “basic networking”.

    that’s why you chimed in with your comment. Stupid me.

    The honest to god reason I chimed in was because your response seemed derisive, and I thought I might be able to soften a bit by either showing my own ineptitude or challenging your solution.
