It's easy to setup and tightvnc will be run over the ssh tunnel so it should be safe. They will be able to see what you do.

Regards, Benedict if you want graphical basically the same kind of solution would be to use FreeNX (free speech) or the Free NX server (free beer) i've setup FreeNX 2 years ago for a friend and its still up and running, its faster then any other remote desktop kind of connection, never had any stability issues and it works over SSH port 22 with the option to use certificates for security. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Which remote help solution?
Hello. I've migrated three friends to Linux. To make their (and mine) experience more pleasant I would like to be able to remotely access their computer and if possible enable them to see what I'm doing. The problem is that they are all behind router and I cannot expect from them to start some complicate procedure to enable me to connect remotely to their computer. Googling around I couldn't find any apparent (easy) solution. I don't mind setting up and learning, just I would not like to waste my time for wrong bad. Could you please suggest me some approach or just tell me what you're using for remote help.

Configure their machines so that they can easily connect to the VPN. Once they are connected you can interact with them just as if they were on your LAN. -- Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

For you OpenVPN (Google It) will be an easy solution. -- Not sent from my iPhone or my Blackberry or anyone else's -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
