How to Set Up SSH Tunneling Between Two LINUX Computers for Remote Access with VNC

Welcome to this comprehensive tutorial on setting up SSH tunneling between two Linux computers for secure remote access with VNC. This guide will take you through each step of the process to ensure that your connection remains confidential and your data is secure.

Before we jump into the setup, let’s briefly understand why SSH tunneling is crucial for secure remote access. It’s a robust method that guarantees the confidentiality and integrity of your data during transmission.

To begin, we’ll need to set up the TigerVNC server on one of our Linux machines. We’ll follow the instructions outlined in the video titled “Remote Access of a Fedora Desktop Using VNC” hosted at https://youtu.be/3xGGw_aPLfs?si=vSSd1s0j8tV4-89T.

It’s essential to ensure that both of your computers are on the same network and can communicate with each other. We’ll demonstrate this by pinging each computer.

Now, let’s dive into the SSH tunneling setup. We’ll establish a secure connection between the two Linux machines.

To verify the SSH tunnel, we’ll use two important commands: ‘netstat’ to view active connections and ‘telnet’ to test the tunnel’s functionality.

With the SSH tunnel in place, it’s time to connect to the VNC server using TigerVNC Viewer. This is where the magic happens, and you’ll gain remote access to your Linux machine.

As an extra bonus, we’ll also cover the installation and usage of RealVNC Viewer, an alternative for VNC remote access.
