Actually, I am trying to figure out why they do not work after upgrade from FreeBSD 13 to 14. They used to work before. History: 1. My FreeBSD host lives in a Data Centre several kilometers from me. I only access it via SSH. 2. My FreeBSD host does not have a keyboard, mouse, or screen attached to it. 3. I use VNC Viewer to connect to the VMs like HOST_IP:PORT
