I want to connect via Apple's ScreenSharing.app , to my home mac from a separate network.
I verified that my host computer is listening on port 5900
I can SSH via unix command ssh user@router.ip
but I don't see the computer under the Shared
computers list in Finder
-
I can screen share when host and remote computer are on the same network
-
Ive tried using Go > Connect to Server , using different input for the server address , but i'm not sure what I would type for a computer on a different network.

Bonjour is the protocol that is used to "discover" other computers and will list them in Finder. Bonjour only works on the local network.
If it's on a separate network, you won't see them in Finder even though you can still reach them (
ssh
,scp
,ftp
,http
, etc.).
