I have an AWS Debian9 EC2 instance running, I have set up TightVNC and can access the server via a VNC client. I've allowed access to ports 5900, 5901, 22, 80 and 443 via the security groups in AWS.
I run the VNC server with the following:
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
And open the SSH tunnel using the following command:
ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -C -N -l admin <ip.address.of.server>
This seems to work fine as when I load up localhost:5901 in the browser I get the following:
RFB 003.008
What am I missing? I've been trying to follow this guide which worked all the way through to the SSH tunnel section where it seems to just work.
How do I set up tightVNC on Debian9 to display in the browser via an SSH tunnel?
