[LinuxUsers] ssh vpn nxclient

[Chris Thomas]

I've used freenx a lot. Paul, just install the freenx server on your friend's box, open up port 22 on his router and install the freenx client on your box. No need to setup a VPN. Your freind might want to setup an account with a dynamic DNS service like dyndns.org so you don't have to worry about ip addresses changing.

I'm putting it on ubuntu. It is not available in the package manager,
as far as I can tell. I looked in the synaptic package manager, and it 
was not there.

which distro are you installing it on? isn't it available on the package manager? (apt, yum, emerge, whatever)

okay, that answers my question.

I found the script for installing nxclient.

# sudo dpkg -i nxclient_X.Y.Z-W_i386.deb

should I put the deb package in the opt directory


and depackage it there?

is the opt directory as good as any for that?

Thanks

why don't you just use SSH and be done with it? If you're really worried, then use key-only authentication and disable passwords on the SSH server. No need to have 10 steps of encryption.

is it common to vpn inside of ssh, or to ssh inside of vpn?
or is that overkill?
does anyone know the script for installing nxclient in ubuntu?
If I want to nxclient into my friends computer to configure his
computer remotely, do I need to have nxclient on my computer, 
and nxserver on his computer?

thanks
