This page describes the older two-stage process of setting up a tunnel to the IMSc LAN from the internet. This complexity is no longer required.

To simplify this one can configure settings equivalent to the following setup in .ssh/config.

( ssh -q -f -C -N -L 2222:amlaka:22 access.imsc.res.in && \
 ssh -q -f -N -o HostKeyAlias=amlaka -p 2222 -D 1080 localhost )
