I have a linux mint host that I want full administrative access to remotely. I will be the only person connecting to this server. Obviously ssh is a no-brainer and I have that already working. I’ve been wrestling to get a VNC solution working. I installed tigervncserver but when I try to connect to it using the viewer provided from the tigervnc website I get the message that the server is actively refusing the connection. So far logs have not been very revealing. I have verified that the port tigervncserver is listening on is allowed by the ufw firewall. Since this is a private server that is not out in the public I’m not really concerned about security as much. I just want a remote solution that will let me get to the gui without having to physically travel to the server. Is tigervncserver not the right solution? Or is there something obvious I am missing.
I am a big fan of NoMachine, audio, support multi screen setups, and there is a client for most platforms.
