Hi,

really great. The proxy feature seems to work without any special
configuration on the x2go server. Though, what did not work
is the tunneling of rdp (rdesktop) through SSH. When I choose
"direct rdp connection" then the connection works. There should
be a corresponding setting where we could also tunnel rdp through
ssh when selecting ssh proxy like the standard connections I have
tested now.

Cheers,
Matt
