HyperD Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If I have tightVNC installed on my Windows machine and want to view my Linux desktop remotely, how would I go about it? I've already been able to do it on my local network, but what if I want to do it from another network? I have my network encrypted with WEP.

steviewdr Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 What your meant to do is: ssh (using putty etc) on your Windows box at home, into your Linux box. With putty, you can setup a port forward using the tunnel option, to tunnel port 5900 from your linux box. Then when you open vncviewer on your client you connect to: localhost 5900 (which gets securely port forwarded to your linux box via ssh). P.S. WEP is no good. It can be easily cracked in less than 5 minutes. I suggest you use WPA. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
