i set up my VNC server at home. I successfully set up an SSH tunnel
with VNC from my friend's computer across town.
However at work I was not as successful. I was able to set up an SSH
connection, with a tunnel that forwarded a local port of 443 to the
destination port of 443 (This was the same setting I used before).
When trying to connect with VNC I get a message from VNC that says it
cannot connect or it says that the connection was unexpectedley
dropped.
any ideas?
It is likely that your work firewall is blocking all incoming
connections. As such, you
will probably be able to connect from work to home but not the other way.
If you establish the tunnel from work to home and leave it up then you should be
able to vnc from home to work.
Check with your IT people to determine if it is ok to do something
like this. It it is, then
they have tools that can help you get this working.
Another thing that I would recommend that seems to help people that
cannot get ssh
working is hamachi. Setting that up is different but provides you
with a full vpn between
computers, not just vnc but all services and you control which
networks/computers are connected to the network.
