What is the difference between VNC and SSH?
SSH Connection are highly encrypted and secure connection both from the user and the server, unlike VNC (Virtual Network Computing) which should not be used over the internet. VNC sends its information via unencrypted connection any VNC ports that are open can be seen by malicious parties.
How to setup a SSH tunnel?

Should I tunnel x11vnc through SSH?

The first step is installing X11vnc and a SSH server on the computer that you want to be able to connect to. This command will install both in Ubuntu or Debian.
How do SSH tunnels work?
SSH tunnelling is very simple. It opens a listening socket at one end. Whenever anyone connects to that listening socket, it opens a corresponding connection from the other end to the configured location, then forwards all information both ways between the two, over the SSH link.
How to create a reverse SSH tunnel?
