RDPoverSSH

Controlling a machine remotely can involve more parameters than the Windows built-in utility provides, and if you're looking for something more advanced, third-party software like RDPoverSSH is here to provide: establish peer-to-peer remote connections over SSH with one or more systems through this program's compact, functional interface.

By using SSH tunnels for authentication, the tool effectively maps a port from the local machine to one from the remote system, which works best in cases where the target desktop is behind a NAT router or firewall. Reverse SSH tunnels make it possible for that machine to establish an outward connection, which then allows it to receive connections without requiring port forwarding. Port forwarding still has to be configured on one end of the connection, however, which is why it's best to establish it on the local system.

Normal and reverse connection tunnels can be established, opening up various possibilities. Normal tunnels are best suited for when the target machine allows port forwarding, while the reverse counterpart is when port forwarding has to be configured locally. Refer to the tutorials provided by the developer if you want to configure and learn about the process in detail.
