I have a Debian server, and an OpenShift gear. To access the gear, clients need to connect to it with a SSH tunnel. I want people to instead connect to my main server using a normal connection, and have my server send their requests through a SSH tunnel for them. Pretty much, the request needs to go from 

Client > Internet > Debian server > SSH tunnel > OpenShift 
> SSH tunnel > Debian server > Internet > Client

I could give instructions to the users on setting up the whole thing with PuTTY or something, but it would be over most of their heads. Thanks!

Sounds like you should be looking for proxy software for connecting to OpenShift.

Client --Internet-- ProxyServer --ssh_tunnel-- OpenShift

In your case, the ProxyServer would be your Debian server.

I have setup clients using keys to open tunnels with PuTTY. It wasn't that difficult.
