 Working with ParaView in this method is useful because it creates a more resilient work environment. With this setup if you lose your connection to the network, you will not lose your work. You simple just need to setup the tunnel again and connect with VNC. After completing those steps, you will find your work just as you left it, prior to losing your connection. It is also important that you properly exit ParaView when you are done using it, so that it releases the shared resources.   Working with ParaView in this method is useful because it creates a more resilient work environment.

If you forget your password then you can use the ''vncpasswd'' command to reset your password.
