xpra: More responsive remote connections

Add abbr to fish:

abbr cxpra "xpra seamless ssh://server 'terminator' --ssh=\"ssh -o Compression=no -o TCPKeepAlive=yes -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=600\" --speed=100 --encoding=rgb --no-notifications --no-bell --speaker=no --microphone=no --dpi=96"
--min-speed — higher is faster. 100 is the maximum, meaning "always encode as fast as possible, never slow down for quality."

--min-quality — lower is faster. 30 means "allow aggressive quality reduction to save bandwidth." Setting it to 0 lets xpra reduce quality even further dynamically

Or run persistent server on the remote server

On the server: xpra start :100 --start-child=xfce4-terminal
On the client:
xpra attach ssh://server/:100 --encoding=jpeg --min-speed=100 --min-quality=0 --compress=1 --bandwidth-detection=yes --pixel-depth=16 --auto-refresh-delay=0 --video-scaling=2 --dpi=96

ssh: LocalForward in ssh config file

Example to forward vnc 5901 port from server to client's 5903 port:
Host myserver
    HostName serverip
    User ubuntu
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private.pem
    LocalForward 5903 localhost:5901


firefox socks5 through ssh proxy

ssh -ND 1080 user@proxyserver

ssh config

Example
# contents of $HOME/.ssh/config
Host dev
HostName dev.example.com
Port 22000
User fooey

Chrome through ssh tunel

ssh -ND 1080 user@remote_server_ip -p 2222 google-chrome-stable --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080" --proxy-bypass-list="localhost;127.0.0.1"

ssh: copy your id_rsa.pub to remote host for no password

Execute on your localhost: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username@remote-host

Ubuntu: ssh to tor server

On the server:

Add this to /usr/tor/torrc HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/sshd/
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22
Restart tor sudo service tor restart
Onion hostname file for the ssh service should be created sudo cat /var/lib/tor/sshd/hostname
Take note of the hostname
On the client:
Have tor browser running on the client.

Add this to ~/.ssh/config: host hidden hostname your_onion_hostname.onion
proxyCommand nc -x 127.0.0.1:9150 %h %p

Example of SSH tunneling

Example:
ssh -N -L 5904:127.0.0.1:5901 username@remoteserverThe above command forwards everything on localhost port 5904 to the port 5901 on remoteserver. This is what I use to connect to a VNC service on port 5901 on a remoteserver at my job from my home computer. Thus, at home, after establishing the above tunnel I can use a vncviewer as follows:vncviewer :4
