Overview
The Reverse SSH Server is a robust solution that guarantees continuous connections to your servers or IoT devices, even in private IP environments or after unexpected reboots. It uses secure SSH connections over port 22 by default, ensuring you maintain access at all times.
With easy-to-manage, client-specific, key-based authentication, you can quickly add or remove clients as needed, making it a flexible and secure option for managing remote devices. The Reverse SSH Server is an essential tool for maintaining persistent, secure connections in your highly-available AWS environment.
Highlights
- Centrally manage systems in firewalled environments
- Easily add or remove clients from the Reverse SSH Server
- Uses key-based SSH authentication for optimal security

Dimensions summary
You pay an hourly software fee tied to the EC2 instance size you run. The eight dimensions map to specific instance types: t2.micro, t2.small, t2.medium, t2.large, t3.micro, t3.small, t3.medium, and t3.large. These are not feature tiers. Each option delivers the same Reverse SSH Server software; they differ only in the underlying compute size you select. Pick the instance that matches your workload, and billing accrues per hour of use. This software fee is separate from, and additional to, the standard AWS EC2 compute charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly fee ties to the running instance, not the number of clients. You can add or remove clients as your fleet changes without a separate per-client charge. Each client uses key-based authentication, generated uniquely. Clients reconnect automatically after a drop or reboot, with no added software metering.
The software fee meters running instance-hours. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Keep in mind that stopped instances may still incur standard AWS storage fees for the attached EBS volume. The software license bills only while the instance runs.
Your bill combines two parts. One part is the hourly software fee tied to the instance size you pick. The other is the standard AWS EC2 compute rate for that instance type. Both apply per hour of running time and appear together. Encrypting the EBS volume may add storage charges.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Patched and updated out-of-date dependencies, configured security controls to harden server and added compatibility for additional client operating systems.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Create a new client on this server. Copy the contents of the client script onto the client system as a new script and make it executable. Run the newly generated client script on the client system. Connect to the client system from the Reverse SSH Server by connecting to the locally forwarded SSH local port.
Full deployment and configuration details can be found here: https://salientengineering.com/products/reverse-ssh-server-deployment-and-configuration
The Reverse SSH Server does not require any external or third-party packages to work. Client scripts that are generated do require autossh to be installed on the client system however, autossh will automatically install if needed.

Reverse SSH for remote updates in rural Nepal
Reviewed on Oct 29, 2024
Review from a verified AWS customer
We deploy hundreds of computers to schools in remote areas of Nepal. To keep those computers up-to-date with new code and content, we configure them with Reverse SSH from Salient.
When we have updates or a school computer has maintenance issues, we Reverse SSH into the computer from Kathmandu headquarters and get full access. This saves days of travel delays that would otherwise be needed to service the computers.
Set up was easy. We easily added some custom script to the standard Salient install code for our special needs.
