Running Chrome over SSH tunnel
Posted on In QAHow to run Chrome on remote host over a SSH tunnel? This way, I can access resource that can only be accessed inside the remote host’s network.
Running Chrome over a SSH tunnel is much easier than running Firefox over SSH from a Linux host:
First, ssh to the remote host with -X
option:
ssh -X username@remote_host
Then, in the remote shell over SSH, run
google-chrome
Chrome will appear on your local Linux host’s X.
