remote areas.
When Remote Console on VRM is enabled, the GX Device will open and maintain a connection to any
of the servers pointed to by supporthosts.victronenergy.com. Which currently resolves to two IP
addresses (84.22.107.120 and 84.22.108.49), and likely more in the future. The technology used is
ssh, and it will try to connect using port 22, 80 and 443, only one of them needs to work. The reason
for it to try all three is that on most networks one of them will be allowed by the local firewall.
Once connected to one the the supporthost servers, that reverse ssh tunnel is waiting to be
connected from someone needing the connection. Which can be your browser, or a Victron engineer
since this same technology is used for the Remote Support functionality; for more information see
above.
When using Remote Console on VRM, the browser will connect to either vncrelay.victronenergy.com,
or vncrelay2.victronenergy.com, using websockets on port 443.
For more details of used connections by the GX Device, see Q15 of the FAQ.

A Glass Bridge is a MFD (Multi-Functional Display) that integrates a boat's systems and navigation
status into a large screen or screens at the helm of the vessel, so doing away with multiple gauges,
brackets and wiring complications.
