At home, I have Ubuntu Linux 10.04 on a spare laptop and a DSL connection that's always on. What are the steps to securely (very important) share this on the web with like DynDNS or something and port forwarding so that I can access it over port 443 (HTTPS port) over the web and access the GUI of the desktop? My DSL router supports port forwarding.

See, sometimes I'm in a hotel with bad Internet (only ports 80 and 443 available) and need a way to connect to a power user workstation so that I can do emergency systems operations tasks for my employer.

  • Any reason you need a full desktop, or would command-line ssh work?

  • Just easier to multitask -- it's what I'm used to, moving windows around with multiple terminal sessions, minimizing stuff out of my way, browsing a site, doing cut/paste between windows, etc.
