Informative article !

Now how would you configure to manage multiple Linux boxes ( NATed servers) from a single client running in a VPS via secure (SSH enabled) VNC?

By that I mean multiple Linux boxes behind firewalls that can connect to a public IP server ( VPS.)

Each of these embedded (IoT) Linux hosts has the same root user/password, so how would you distinguish these IoT devices from each other? Via different port numbers drawn from a pool, configured by Tiger VNC client running in VPS?

I ask because most IoT devices become inaccessible after first “factory” configuration including say some bash scripts and (Tiger?)VNC install on each of these devices. Then we need to make sure these devices are accessible over the Internet remotely, but we should expect minimal intervention by IoT device users except boot and reboot and maybe typing in a username/ passed at first boot setup.

What kind of simple script can we use on the IoT devices and VNC client in VPS?
