I'm trying to access my home server remotely and I only have port 22 available to me. From what I understand it's possible to tunnel into the server to be able to view VNC.
So far all my efforts have failed. I followed the digital ocean tutorial to set up VNC. I can successfully telnet localhost 5901
on my home server using SSH.
However the local part gets a bit wonky for me. On putty I set up the tunnel:
Source 5900
Destination mydomain.com:5900
I also tried replacing 5900
with 5901
in the source and destination part.
In TightVNC I try to connect like localhost:1 but I immediately get "Connection closed gracefully". No idea what's going on.
At what point there are you configuring it to use port 22? – Rowland Shaw – 2014-12-07T17:12:30.147
@RowlandShaw configuring what? For putty I just set the port in the session tab to 22. Server side I didn't think I had to do anything – Ortix92 – 2014-12-07T17:36:55.593
From your question title, I thought you wanted VNC to run over port 22? – Rowland Shaw – 2014-12-07T18:47:56.167
