I'm very far from an expert in networking, and wanted to ask which is more secure between:
1/Accessing a remote desktop over VNC through a SSH tunnel (smthg Guacamole can't do atm)
2/Using VNC over Guacamole and routing the traffic through HTTPS
In my understanding both communications are encrypted, but is there a difference between these two solutions in terms of security?
Thanks,
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you are using SSH private keys or SSL client certificates, both connections are secure. But you must set the configuration properly.
advantage SSH: you can tunnel all traffic to your network
advantage SSL/TLS: it works through HTTP proxy server
disadvantage SSH: many brute force attack and port scan on ssh port 22, slow network speed
disadvantage SSL/TLS: in recent years, many vulnerabilities in the openssl library
