As I said, the VPN part is more to save having to set up local port

Have you tried TeamViewer? They have a Linux version....

Yes, I use (unfortunately) teamviewer a lot. I regret that it is not
free software however, when I am supporting an increasingly large
bunch of very non techie friends it is surprisingly easy at my end and
theirs. I have even used it in a remote live Ubuntu session to re
partition a remote PC for dual boot and then run the installer in
advanced mode, apparently no problems (!) I decided to close the
teamviewer session once the install was under way to avoid possible
complications, and it all worked.
