The downside is that it seems to be sensitive to clients &#8211; TigerVNC on Macs works, but various others didn't.</p> <p>I found a better solution with RealVNC + SSH Tunneling.  By using the following procedures, I am able to connect to Virtual Console.</p> <ol> <li>Establish SSH tunneling.  </li> </ol> <p>               % ssh -L 5902:133.40.164.211:5902 gw-ics</p> <p>     2.  Connect to locahost:5902 using RealVNC.</p> <p>     3.  Revise the setting of RealVNC.

It is proved that this method works perfectly.</p> Development Rank 0|s001kw:
