The configuration I used previously 10 years or so was OK till I upgraded to Sonoma. I do not know what to do to make it work once more.
Right here is the configuration:
macmini@work on public community
macmini@dwelling on personal community
Each with display screen sharing enabled. The command I take advantage of are the next:
ssh -Nfn -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5900 [email protected]
open vnc://localhost:5901
The place xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP tackle of my work macmini (or the router IP after I join from work -> dwelling). From dwelling every thing is OK as traditional (I want to make use of a tunnel as a result of there’s a firewall blocking port 5902) and I hook up with my work macmini.
The opposite manner round (work -> dwelling) would not work anymore. The tunnel is OK however I can not join (and it is not an authentication drawback as a result of my connection is blocked earlier than the standard authentication field seems).
The error I get is a generic localhost connection failed after which offers some suggestion on enabling display screen sharing or distant administration.
Further data: the router configuration is okay (the router is within the DMZ zone and the SSH port is forwarded to my dwelling macmini and I can hook up with my dwelling macmini through ssh) and each macmini have the identical sharing configuration. I additionally tried to allow “distant managment” however the issue is similar.
My impression is that the issue is by some means extra stringent safety in Sonoma as a result of after I allow “display screen sharing” in my macmini it says that I can hook up with the mac utilizing 192.168.0.100 (which is its IP tackle within the personal community) or by its title. The vnc connection nonetheless arrives by way of the tunnel and use a special title (I attempted each utilizing localhost and 127.0.0.1 however the error is similar). The opposite manner round (dwelling -> work) works as a result of I am utilizing the general public IP tackle which is reported within the “display screen sharing” allowed IP tackle to make use of to attach.
So the query is: is there anyone that had the identical drawback? How did you clear up it? How can I management what allowed IP/NAME can hook up with the macmini vnc server?
And at last: what different choice do I’ve if I can not hook up with my macmini@dwelling by way of a tunnel? In fact I do not wish to pay 90$ for the Apple Distant Desktop app.
