Files that are based on a remote server can be mounted as described in
[the corresponding section](#mount-directory-with-sshfs) to set up complete remote development.
This can also be used for tunneling [VNC](/wiki/vnc.md) which is then called
[VNC over SSH](/wiki/vnc.md#vnc-over-ssh).
### Specify Key Exchange Algorithms
It can be useful to specify the key exchange algorithms in the OpenSSH config file `~/.ssh/config`.

[wayvnc](https://github.com/any1/wayvnc) is a VNC server for [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) systems using
[Waylands](/wiki/linux/wayland.md) compositors using wlroots.
To use wayvnc the system with the server has to be on the same network as the client.
This is also explained in the [screen sharing entry](/wiki/screen-sharing.md).
To use wayvnc the client has to be able to reach the server either directly or through an
[SSH tunnel](/wiki/linux/openssh.md#port-tunneling).
It is the default VNC server used on modern [Raspberry Pi OS](/wiki/linux/raspberry_pi.md)
installations.

### Binding to an IP Address
By default, wayvnc is reachable on the IP address it is bound to.
Usually this is `0.0.0.0` and makes the VNC server on all network interfaces.
However, binding to `127.0.0.1` exposes the VNC server only on the loopback interface of
[SSH tunnels](/wiki/linux/openssh.md).
This may be useful when using [VNC over SSH](/wiki/vnc.md#vnc-over-ssh).
When using a systemd user service (for example
`~/.config/systemd/user/wayvnc.service`), the same can be achieved by changing
the `ExecStart` line to
```ini
ExecStart=/usr/bin/wayvnc 127.0.0.1
```
The server can then be accessed remotely using
[VNC over SSH](/wiki/vnc.md#vnc-over-ssh).
