Secure remote access to a Mac from Windows
Authored by: sweetsdream on Nov 10, '05 05:04:50AM

After playing with this more and helping my co-worker setup the same thing I found a slightly more secure way of doing this.

If you don't forward port 5900 in you Airport Express, you can setup the tunnel in PuTTY to the home internal IP address. I tunnel local port 5900 to remote port 10.0.1.2:5900 within the PuTTY tunnel congiuration. This will only open your external IP Address to port 22.
