IT/Software/Applications/Remote Login/Nomachine

This is an amazing open source project.

You can use it with little to no restrictions.

Using SSH tunnel with NX connection

Setup the connection to use NX and a non-standard port.

localhost Port 4010

Connect via ssh

ssh -L 4010:localhost:4000 walt@disco

This will open a ssh tunnel on port 4010 and send that to the 4000 port on the remote machine

Now start the NoMachine connection.

You can add the -N flag to open the connection quietly.

Stopping it

right click and close the noMachine application does not often work.

From a terminal you can:

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --shutdown

It can steal audio from Zoom or other applications if you don't close it.
