Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For remote openmediavault server, I opened a port to redirect remote ssh port to the openmediavault server.

I've seen the app allow ssh connection but for security concerns, I don't allow root to connect directly from ssh, so collected information with a "simple" user may be limited.

Could the app allow accessing openmediavault server through a ssh connection ?

the same could be done settings a tunnel before connecting with the app ? But if all the settings could be done in MonitorMyServer it wuld be nice.

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered use an app that would open a tunnel through ssh before using MonitorMyServer, connect to the remote omv server through the tunnel. cons => need another app to create a tunnel.

or, setup a vpn server on the remote server, connect to the omv server through vpn cons => need network skills to install that kind of software.

Additional context will this app will remplace OMV remote ?

"will this app will remplace OMV remote ?" => no, two applications.OMW is way too specific https://github.com/doodz/Doods.Xam.MonitorMyServer/wiki/FAQ
