Comment on Good experience with neko remote browser

Perhaps there was an easier lighter-weight way of doing this?
Yeah, SSH tunneling. What I would do (and have done in the past) is something like:
ssh -L 8080:192.168.0.1:80 myserver
That will forward port 8080 on your host to port 80 on 192.168.0.1, so you can access your router’s web UI with http://localhost:8080/ in your own web browser.
You can also setup full tunneling with SSH, but that requires messing around with SOCKS and I usually can’t be bothered.
I use this to help my grandma remotely! The two steps needed were to join her into my Tailscale network and set up SSH with key authentication only.
No I am now able to SSH into her computer and enable VNC (remote control) and connect to the VNC-server over SSH-tunnel like this.
Thanks - this is exactly what I needed.
I just can’t get over the fact that I didn’t knew of ssh tunneling till today. P.S I have a 24x7 home server for last 5years
