## Configuring using SSH Tunnel ##
Linux and MacOS users can utilize SSH Tunnel to redirect the headless box port 53682 to local machine by using the following command:
```
ssh -L localhost:53682:localhost:53682 username@remote_server
```
Then on the headless box run `rclone` config and answer `Y` to the `Use

Use auto config?

```
