Proxmox, create external VNC access

Hello,

Sometimes using Proxmox, you can't connect to VM console, to troubleshot boot issues, slow network, java applet version, ...
To address thoses issues, the best solution is to create an external VNC session to login into your VM.
From your Proxmox server, open a VNC connection using NC (netcat) to forward port :

/bin/nc -l -p 5900 -w 100 -c '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy VMID'

Install VNCTiger, very seasy and high-performance vnc client.

Connect to your Proxmox ip and port (ex: 5900), accept the certificats.
Login and password are the same to connect to your Proxmox, login : root@pam and your password.

Er voila, an emergency remote access to use when everything turns bad and your Windows VM does a BSOD.
