You can try to build and use a VPN, which might be a bit complex,
especially for the users.
Or you can use Guacamole, which like a gateway to the internal network and
can be accessed from a browser.

Have a look also at the Virtual Computer Lab:

This question is not so special to LTSP 5, could be even on a new <br>
server. But we still have LTSP 5, so I start here.<br>
<br>
As a fallback option in case I land in quarantine :) I would like to <br>
establish a way to access our LTSP server from my laptop at home.<br>
<br>
Our server has 2 NICs, one pointing to the router (AVM FritzBox), and it <b=

should be relatively easy to establish an SSL connection via DynDNS. <br>
(The other NIC is configured for LTSP and printers of course.)<br>
<br>
But would it be possible to get any computer at home to load an LTSP <br>
session, either an existing one via VNC or directly by establishing a <br>
standard LTSP session?<br>
<br>
Has anyone ever tried this or had this idea? What would I have to <br>
