Hello everyone !
I have a huge problem. I want to set a reverse connection from internet but my ISP use router (or nat i don't know exactly).
I know that it's possible to reverse connection by configuring router and set a port forwarding , but the problem is that , my isp is my university , i'm just a little student , so it's difficult for them to let me do something with "their" network, by using their router.
Is there a possibility to anyway accomplish a reverse connection ? I just want to make a kind of little server, and allow other people to connect to my computer trhough ssh too.
Thanks a lot for helping

A detail : before i have a connection , i have to connect to my university's vpn. So i use the ppp0 interface for connection (i saw it by using netstat).

Sorry but first of all you mention it's not your router, so I doubt this is legal.

Second, the setup you mention is not really very clear to me, adding the fact that you connect through a vpn is not a small detail > it complicates things a lot..

You also have not mentioned what kind of connection you are trying to accomplish: vnc, telnet, ssh, rdp?

Most software like for example teamviewer solves situations like this by letting both clients (behind Nat/Router/fw) connect to a public server and routing the connections through there.

Have you tried using this and check routes?

Hello everyone !
I have a huge problem.

Yah you do.

I want to set a reverse connection from internet but my ISP use router (or nat i don't know exactly).
I know that it's possible to reverse connection by configuring router and set a port forwarding , but the problem is that , my isp is my university , i'm just a little student , so it's difficult for them to let me do something with "their" network, by using their router.

And there's the problem.
You want to allow someone else to be able to connect to your system which is internal to the school's network. Naughty, Naughty.
Your 'want' could put the entire school at risk.

All in all... I'm not likely to help you put a school at risk.

I don't think it's illegal (and it isn't) . I just want that my computer can be accessible from internet. I want to make little website server (like a normal server , where clients use http connections) , and just bypass the invisibility behind the router. I want to make a SSH server too , like that I can master my computer from other computer when i won't be home . All I want is to be viewed from outside , I dont think that's illegal
But if you said that it might have a risk , I 'll let it down. Anyway if it's possible , I really need it . Free website hosting isn't enough for me to apply such things that I learn (like webmastering, or how to master a server) , and I don't have enough money to rent a server , where I can install and do what I want. That's why I insist for this. (ps : I live in the campus of university , that's why I have no other choice than try to bypass this problem)
