New user: what ports to open in router?

Hello @Crispin

The port you need to open in your router to allow external connections to Thinlinc is port 22 (SSH).

Regarding the message " Connection to server:“192.168.1.6” timed out. Check your settings." is due to fact that Thinlinc VSMServer will instruct your Thinlinc client to make a second SSH connection to the ipaddress of your server, which is 192.168.1.6.

Your client machine must have some way to directly make a connection to this address, and since it’s an internal address, we can work around this by utilizing an SSH tunnel and HOST_ALIASES.

@VirusABC has a great instruction for how he achived this, please see if you can make it work by reading
