Hi, I get no connection to my remote pvserver using ssh port forwarding. Both machines run Ubuntu 22.04 and the used paraview and pvserver binaries come from the standard Ubuntu 22.04 repositories and were installed with “apt”. I started the remote pvserver with the following commands:

```auto
ssh -f <hostname> pvserver
ssh -N -L 11111:localhost:11111 <hostname>

```

With the paraview program I cannot get a connection to the pvserver and get a error message. I this problem known? Is there a workaround or a solution to this problem?

Thank you very much!  
Ralph Trenkler

Hi @RalphT69

`ssh -L 8080:localhost:11111 <hostname> pvserver` works perfectly for me.

Best,
