Protecting VNC server with SSH tunneling without preventing iPhone connection
I have a VNC server that I hope to access from multiple computers as well as my phone (using the VNC viewer app). I have a password on the server but that did not stop me from getting "Too many authentication failures" eventually from someone trying to break into my linux box.
I would set up ssh tunneling but I am not sure how I could get that to work such that my phone can still connect to the VNC server. Is there a way?
