In the ZBT-6416, you can utilize an SSH proxy. Note that these features are not available in the AR150 firmware. Follow these instructions for setup:
1. Navigate to the "SSH Proxy" page.
2. Check "Enable SSH Proxy" and "Enable transparency."
3. Input your SSH server, using either an IP address or domain name.
4. Input your SSH username.
5. Select RSA for the authentication method. There is a known issue with password authentication that remains unresolved.
6. Copy the entire content of your RSA file, including the first and last lines.
7. Click Apply.
8. Refresh the page several times until both "SSH proxy" and "Transparent routing" statuses show "Yes." If not, you may lose internet connectivity.
Obtaining the RSA File
If you have an SSH server, you likely have a username and password. Some servers require RSA for enhanced security, eliminating the need to enter your password each time. For instance, Amazon EC2 mandates downloading a xxxx.pem file during instance creation, which serves as your RSA file.
If you only have a password, you can generate an RSA file. Follow these guides:
- [Generating SSH keys on GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/)
- [Generating RSA keys on Linux](https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-generating-rsa-keys/)
On your Linux system, use:
```sh
ssh-keygen -t rsa
```
Follow the prompts to generate two files, `id_rsa` and `id_rsa.pub`.
Next, upload the key to your server. If the key is not uploaded, you cannot proceed.
```sh
ssh-copy-id yourusername@your-server
```
Then, you can log in using the RSA content.
