Accessing servers remotely via SSH is a common practice. However, for enhanced security, it’s often necessary to use a “Jumpbox.” A Jumpbox is a server that acts as an intermediary, accessible from the internet or other less-trusted networks. It typically resides in a DMZ or behind special firewall rules.

To SSH to a server through a Jumpbox, use the following command:

bash
ssh -J matt@jump.support.tools root@webserver.support.tools
