It's possible to use SSH to connect to your LWP directly.
We have a login server available to access your home directory, so you don't have to leave your own PC turned on. It's not a big machine, so don't use it to do your work on or you'll bother other users trying to access their files.

The login server ssh-hostkeys:
2048 SHA256:BqwCk82bRDxY3YLkumDcr8d0RKExSCX+zbsgdDyfF4w ssh.lwp.rug.nl (RSA)
256 SHA256:MfSPCbM20GbH+zMDUAEFzk80vTxF2890ch2EQJjEi3o ssh.lwp.rug.nl (ED25519)
256 SHA256:Fck7jcOsqDtqcCFncx144z2tt12oMWXD4Jiz0LJbapw ssh.lwp.rug.nl (ECDSA)

Connecting to the LWP from home with SSH.

Replace ssh.lwp.rug.nl with the hostname or ip-address of the machine you're trying to connect to.

Add your p-number to the allowed users list

On the host you are trying to connect to, add your p-number to the file /etc/users_allowed_ssh.

Set up your own system

Make your life easier by creating a ~/.ssh/config file and adding the following:

host lwp
user <username>
ForwardX11 yes
HostName ssh.lwp.rug.nl or hostname or ip-address

Then connect with:

ssh lwp

Enter your password and you should find yourself in your home directory.
