Open network, unable to connect to my devices (two linux laptops and Android smartphone, ), preferably SHH

73 Views Asked by At

I will be staying at a hotel with open wifi for some time. My main laptop (Linux Mint 19.3) has a keyboard problem needing replaced as many keys are not working. In the meantime, I would like to connect to my main laptop through SSH with an alternate laptop. The network seems to have client isolation and am hoping for some help with a workaround. Please any suggestions? I have looked into ngrok, ssh forwarding, traversal. Thank you for your time.

Bring your own router, connect it to the hotel WiFi, and connect each device to your router. GL.iNet and other routers are able to be a WiFi client and AP at the same time. This involves double NAT (your router and then the hotel), but in my experience it works well.

I think the only other way "around" WiFi client isolation is something like a VPN with client-to-client enabled and the server is outside the hotel.
