1903 update ssh tunnel problem

Anonymous

When I try to create ssh tunnel to port 443 I get error saying: "Privileged ports can only be forwarded by root."

To connect I use this command:

ssh -L 443:secure-domain.com:443 -N ******@my-other-domain.com

Now, until I installed update number 1903, I could connect using powershell without problems. Ever since that update I am getting no privileged ports error. I have admin account on my windows machine.

What can I do for a workaround, or should I revert update?

Thank you

    Hi Miha

    Have you installed the OpenSSH Client to see if that works?

    Click Start > Settings > Apps > Optional features

    Scroll down

    Click OpenSSH Client

    Click install

    Others are reporting this issue too, its probably best you file a bug report then roll back until it is fixed:

    send me the short link so I can vote on it and bring it to the attention of the Windows engineers.

    https://windows10.help/blogs/entry/54-how-to-su...

    Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Recovery > under Go back to my previous version of Windows 10, click Get started.

    or

    Press Control + Alt + Delete

    Click Sign out

    At the Sign In screen, hold down the shift key on your keyboard while clicking the Power button on the screen

    Continue to hold down the shift key while clicking Restart

    Continue to hold down the shift key until the Advanced Recovery Options menu appears

    Click Troubleshoot

    Click Advanced options

    Click Go back to the previous version of Windows

    Windows Update might attempt to upgrade to Windows 10 1809 again. See instructions how to block it:
