|
|
I've been trying to use vncviewer with -via, but anything I try results in vncviewer spitting out a list of options. I've tried:
vncviewer -via (user)@(host_ip_address):(display_num) localhost
vncviewer -via (user)@(host_ip_address) localhost
vncviewer -via (host_ip_address) localhost
and various combinations. What am I missing? Unencrypted VNC (tigervnc on the remote machine) works, and I can ssh in to my remote machine. _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org

As far as I know -via is all client-side, the server shouldn't matter. |

There's an option for the server to listen only on localhost, "man Xvnc" is your friend.
Beyond that, just set the firewall to not let standard vnc ports through. The usual recommended firewall config is to block all inbound connections except specific (for example, ssh) ports, so if you use a config like that, you're already covered. |
