Hi Paul,

Of cause I can make a port forwarding, or an SSH tunnel from the fat client to my computer, but maybe you have a better and more flexible idea?
No, it are very normal fat-clients behind NAT, and only I (the sysadmin) need connect to them, to help the people when there are problems. I am looking for an easy and flexible way to connect.
PyHoca-GUI is targetted at system administrators who use X2go for system administration. This is my primary use case...
What I do is:
o place a linux machine in the customer network and make it accessible via X2go (open SSH port with reverse NAT to this machine only) o from their on... - Windows clients: use X2go sessions as RDP-proxy connections - Linux clients: PyHoca-GUI has SSH proxy support included, check the config dialog Window for this
PyHoca-GUI's great advantage compared to x2goclient is the handling of multiple sessions to the same session profile as well as to multiple session profiles.
Sounds very good. I've never tested PyHoca-GUI but now I need ;-)
( Hmmm, IPv6 is an option here. But I have many other customers where the ISP does not offer IPv6. )
No IPv6 ISP needed, use an IPv6 tunnel broker (e.g. SixXS): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IPv6_tunnel_brokers
I have an ISP who provides native IPv6 over ADSL, and this customer too.
But not all my customers have such a provider, using an IPv6 tunnel there could be an option.
Bye, Paul.
