Re: The most secure way to use Windows Remote Desk
Funny this topic is posted today. Earlier I was starting to research how to you SSH in conjunction with remote desktop.
If I understand correctly, in a configuration where the machine you want to use remote desktop on is behind a NAT router and you use SSH to tunnel in you only have to have port 22 on a SSH server listening from the WAN. This makes it nice if you have multiple windows boxes on that network you want to have access to. Instead of having to open multiple ports on the WAN, 3389, 3390, etc.. you just have to have 22 open.
I've yet to try this out yet but thats how I understand it to work. If I'm incorrect someone please advise.
Here is a guide on the subject (there is also one posted on this site but the main search page is undergoing maintenance):
