Use Remmina 1.2.0 with SSH tunneling

I'm using SSH tunnel and remmina client to connect to the remote machine.

First I open the tunnel in my terminal:

ssh -L 3309:<server_address>:3389 user@<aws_bastion>

And then I just connect via remmina to localhost:3309 port with user name and password for that server. It works just fine.

I wonder if I could setup this SSH tunnel bit in remmina directly

I've tried to specify the following

And then connect to my <aws_bastion> server and it doesn't work. I wonder how do I translate that tunnel command in GUI client?

It works in my case and I think the strange configurations are:

• In SSH Tunnel, best use the SSH Agent based authentication.
• In Basic settings, the server should start with localhost even though I put the server's IP in SSH Tunnel.

Hope this helps.

Update with the configuration that worked for me:

• Basic tab.

  This depends on the vnc server setup in the remote.

  • Server: localhost:5900 (assuming the vnc server listen to localhost at port 5900)
  • User password: Your vnc password

• SSH Tunnel:

  • Tick Enable SSH tunnel.
  • Choose custom: VNC_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:22 (22 is the port for SSH)
  • In SSH Authentication: depending on the remote ssh configuration, use password or use SSH Agent.

You don't need to open ssh tunnel yourself (anymore?). Remmina, at least the current version 1.4.2, does it for you.
Here is my configuration which just works:
