  • What is reverse tunneling
    Reverse tunneling is a method of securing communication between clients and servers that are behind a firewall. This technique enhances security and simplifies firewall management. When using a reverse tunnel, the server initiates a connection to the client. This tunnel connection is secured by a previously shared keyfile that contains an identity certificate. When established, the reverse tunnel allows bidirectional communication without opening inbound firewall ports.
