Secure remote access to your desktop
By Federico Kereki on October 05, 2007 (9:00:00 AM)

Accessing your home server safely can be problematic, especially if
you don't have a fixed IP address, but with Linux, DynDNS, PAM, and NX
Free you can create a safe remote access path to your machine.

A few months ago, I had to travel from my hometown of Montevideo,
Uruguay, to New York. As I would be staying abroad a few weeks, I had
to make sure I could access my home server safely. Despite Linux's
stability, I had to allow for my family having problems back home, and
I couldn't depend on giving instructions over the phone or by
messaging.

I had to solve three problems to get everything running properly.
