I have a Linux Ubuntu desktop at home, ssh enabled, vnc server installed, router rule configured. It all works, and at home I can connect via the local network from my Mac. From the outside I can login via ssh.
I've configured putty as follows:
- session: host name and port number
- connection > ssh > tunnel: forwarded ports: L5900|192.168.0.23
- the local address is: 192.168.1.45
When I make the connection I can login to the remote machine.
Then I open Remote Desktop Viewer.
- I click connect
- protocol: vnc
- host: ?
- use host as ssh tunnel: ?
I don't know what to use for the last two options. Which ip-addresses should I use?
