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.

MoveTab first birthday

Hooray, my tiny Firefox add-on recently turned 1 year old. Statistics show that it has about 20 daily users. Not bad for something that I have never promoted.

What does it do?
Well if you are a Firefox user using more than one window at a time, it helps you transfer a tab quickly from one window to another. For example you use one window for the current project you are working on, another window for personal stuff. But sometimes you open a new tab in the wrong window. And dragging the tab by hand is a painful procedure. So you just click the button.

fog and boredom

Another flight
At least this is the last one for the next month or so.
So much fog, I cannot see the end of the wing. Over Belgrade we passed another plane in the opposite direction. Looked cool in the fog/clouds, it was close, but I saw mostly blinking lights.

Actually the fog began around Vienna. We landed there "automatically" or so the pilot said. He insisted very strongly that we turn off every electronic device. Haven't heard this before.
So.
I'm on a window seat for the first time in a long time. But cannot see anything. At least it is the exit row and I'm alone on the seats.

The stupid mobile browser ditched my carefully prepared open tabs with articles to read. So the only entertainment I have is to look at the map and write this. (At the window seat the GPS is actually working and you cam track your location)
Stupid software. I really need to search for mobile browser that has offline cache.
Looked at the map again. We are over Nis. My ears are popping for the fourth time today. Guess flying gets more annoying with age. 20 minutes left and I'm babbling here out of boredom. Stream of consciousness post over.
