How does a Bastion server work?

Question

SAMUEL RUFUS · Accepted Answer

A bastion server, or jump server, acts as a hardened, secure gateway for accessing private network resources from an external network like the internet. It works by first authenticating users to the bastion host itself, often using strong authentication methods. Once authenticated, the user can then connect from the bastion server to other internal machines using protocols like SSH or RDP, without the internal machines being directly exposed to the internet.
