remote desktop vpn

  • download zip file from here
  • sudo openvpn vpn.vse.gmu.edu.ovpn
    • use your gmu uname/pass
  • open up remote-desktop-viewer
    • connect using VNC protocol
    • provide host ip-add
    • provide password (if security settings are changed in the remote machine) 
  • Issues:
    • Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't show the "Desktop Sharing" application in the search menu. Instead run in the terminal:
      • vino-preferences
      • then pick the options to allow the desktop to be connected remotely with/without password
      • to view the current enabled option
        • dconf-editor
        • then go to org->gnome->desktop>remote-access
    • Alternate remote desktop client is "Remmina". alternate software to remote-desktop-viewer.
    • disable firewall in the desktop used as server
      • sudo ufw disable
