First Connection

Create the first restricted connection package and connect with a familiar viewer.

1

Choose a viewer guide

Start with the client you want to use. Each guide keeps the same HearthGate model: the viewer talks to localhost on its VNC side while the secure layer opens the SSH tunnel to the Mac.

2

Choose the client

Start with TightVNC on Windows, MobaXterm on Windows, Screens on iPad or iPhone, or Remmina on FreeBSD. Each guide will keep the same HearthGate model while adapting the client-specific fields.
