I used the same (local) port to make an example more explicit/simple. Thank you, -- Toly @cbt,

You’re absolutely right, it is a good point. I used the same (local) port to make an example more explicit/simple.

Thank you,

Many remotes may already be running vino locally, so using 5900 won't work, and most vncserver installs use 5901 by default unless specified otherwise. In your example, I can't discern which 5900 to change if I need to alter one of the variables. For example, if vncserver is running on port 5901, and I want to use something that is unlikely to be in use locally, the syntax would be ssh -L 6666:127.0.0.1:5901 user@host just a thought.

Now I can access my home PC from work! VERY NICE! You know what that means, right? That means if I have a connection to my home box via port 22 from my work, I do no longer care if access to some websites/resources is filtered (websensed :) ). Now I can go to any website I like from work, with NO traces - niiice, I liike! :) Thanks for the arcticle - very useful. Bookmarking it! This is brilliant! Now I can access my home PC from work!

You know, I spent a couple of weeks trying to get linuxmce guys to answer me (IRC, linuxmce forum, etc..), but no straight answer.. more like "you don't need it - you have orbiters and ssh for that". But I do really NEED it, and many other people need it to according to other posts. thx! * Lux. Thx man – that is a great info you have here..
