将请求从计算引擎 (GCP) 转发到本地 API

Question

I'm trying to forward requests from a compute engine instance to an internal API (its an on-premise API that communicates to the VM through Cloud VPN ) but without luck, I tried to research how to accomplish this, but with no results.

Someone knows how to achieve it?. In short my goal is to access the on-premise API from my local computer for development purpose using the CE as a proxy.

I am open to create more resources or to change the CE instance if there its a better way to handling this.

My VM is a simple Debian 10 machine.

Answer 1

As John Hanley commented. You can accomplish this by doing SSH tunneling using the CE instance as the middle man.

A good tutorial to follow is this one, which is from the GCP community itself.
