Description
Hey, first of all thank you for this tool - its very cool!
I happened to be experimenting with firewall settings on a Debian machine and realised that I couldn't fully connect to the screenshare. I got the red dot but no contents. When I turned the firewall off I got the contents. This led me to look deeper and I noticed that even though my config states that the SSH tunnel is needed it doesn't appear to make a difference.
My config:
"ssh": {
"timeout": 4,
"address": "10.20.1.210",
"username": "root",
"auth_method": "key",
"key": "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa",
"tunnel": true
},
"orientation": "portrait",
"pen_size": 15,
"pen_color": "red",
"pen_trail": 200,
"background_color": "white",
"hide_pen_on_press": true
}
I then did an nmap before connecting using rmView:
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-28 09:03 GMT
Nmap scan report for remarkable (10.1.1.22)
Host is up (0.011s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
5900/tcp closed vnc
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.03 seconds
And a second when connected using rmView:
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-28 09:04 GMT
Nmap scan report for remarkable (10.1.1.22)
Host is up (0.0042s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
5900/tcp open vnc
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.03 seconds
I have had an experiment and included verbose mode but I can't see anything that indicates whether SSH tunneling is working or not etc. This is my verbose output:

Has anyone else experienced this / have a fix for this / know where to start with debugging?
Thanks!
