Accessing the EdgeRouter WEB UI through SSH

This is a simple and easy hack, but one I couldn't find when I searched for it.
So you want to access the WEB UI and you are not in your home network. But you have enabled the SSH access from the internet.

I assume the following:

• You have an EdgeRouter
• You have SSH access from the Internet to the router (Check this if you don't know how)
• The WEB UI is currently only accessible from the behind NAT on https:192.168.1.1

With a command line ssh client you can run:

 ssh -L 9000:192.168.1.1:443 user@example.com

 The equivalent in PuTTY is in Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels page.

• Source port - 9000
• Destination - 192.168.1.1:443
• Don't change anything else, radio buttons should be on Local and Auto.
• Click the Add button
• Open the connection

After the connection is opened successfully, open https://localhost:9000 in your browser and accept the security warning.

That's it.
