How can I work away from my office?

Solutions

Fundamental Tools
Same as those used to work on a remote HPC cluster from your office:
  • SSH gives secure connection, text-based session;
  • X-Windows gives graphical desktop/session.
[[ detailed elsewhere ]]
Solutions based on SSH X-Windows
  • SSH Hopping — to workaround firewalls.
  • Compression — to handle slow/asymmetric networks.
  • Stateful Connections: GNU Screen and VNC — reconnect to work existing sessions.
  • VPN — to work around firewalls.
