I’ve setup vnc over ssh tunnelling however the Suse firewall seems to be blocking it. On the local host I have this in ~/.ssh/config:
LocalForward localhost:5900 remotehost.com:5900
The problem is that this only works when I either disable the firewall or add an exception for VNC. Both of these actions defeat the whole purpose of ssh tunnelling since they leave my VNC port open to the outside world (very insecure).
This worked fine in 11.2, anyone have any ideas?

Try localhost on both sides and see if it works. Also, doe sit work if
you do this from the command line when SSH-ing vs. in a config file?
Good luck.
