Heh. I used to have that bit set. No biggie though. I wasn't using it that much I was just curious and mentioned it as potentially useful for someone wanting to restore my access. Having to access HN through VNC over SSH over lame ADSL is what cramps my style these days.

You could at least switch to browsing through an SSH proxy instead of VNC:

  ssh -D 12345 user@example.com

Then set your browser to use localhost:12345 as a SOCKS proxy. Add -N to the parameters to tell it not to start a shell.

Thank you for the tip. Never needed it so never knew about it. Dully committed to BrainDB.
