Hi all!
I'm new to SuSE and I'm loving it! At work I want to be able to VNC into my machine at home. However, the only ports that are open to the outside world are 80 and 22. I would like to keep port 22 reserved for ssh and make port 80 reserved for VNC connections. My question is it possible to set up a secure connection to my machine at home via VNC on port 80? If so how would one set up VNC to connect via a secure connection on port 80?
Thanks in advance! Jay
No need to use 80. What I do is to tunnel the VNC session over ssh.
From linux box - use -L option. From win/putty - there is configuration for tunnels.
So, forward any local (at work) port to the right remote port (at home), then set your VNC client to connect to the forwarded local port. Cheers Sunny
