In short, you need to establish a ssh tunnel from your desktop to omni, using your omni account (UNIX), so that whenever you connect from outside to omni, the connection gets tunneled to the desktop computer.
For the ssh tunnel you need to specify the following information (you may have to look up your ssh client documentation for the details):
- open a remote port
- choose a remote port in the range 10000 to 10064
- choose as local port the one you want to contact from outside (examples: 22 for ssh, 3389 for remote desktop, check here for a complete list)
- connect to omni but keep the connection open, otherwise the tunnel will be closed
Then, to connect from outside, just connect to omni and the remote port you specified above.
