For my dad I gave him a desktop icon 'ToTigger' that said ssh -R 1200:localhost:22 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and installed his public key on tigger. Now he clicks the desktop icon to open the connection. Also I needed to fiddle the adsl modem so (obviously modem at 192.168.1.254) ssh -p 1234 -R 1201:192.168.1.254:80 [EMAIL PROTECTED] now I browse localhost:1201 to get the modem setup page This is easier than the VPN route (although we used winders OpenVPN for my daughter travelling the world, that's easy, but linux openVPN needs root access to establish).
