X11 Forwarding with Teamviewer

Hello,

I have a particular issue that I haven't been able to find any solution for and was hoping some of y'all could either point me in the right direction or come to my aid in this time of turning all work to be remote work.

​

I have a Windows machine that is isolated from the local network (and needs to remain that way so ideally no bridging) that is used to control and monitor a piece of hardware. This windows machine is connected to a CentOS 7 machine who in turn is connected to the local network for sending data etc. The local network can be connected to remotely via VPN.

My desire is that I would like to connect to this windows machine and control it remotely by connecting through this intermediate linux machine. I am sort of able to do it through launching a xpra display running xfeerdp and connecting to that display via X11 forwarding and SSH, but it's pretty clunky and is a remote session while I'd prefer screen-sharing, so I'm attempting to use teamviewer.

The issue is that I cannot seem to open the teamviewer gui as a X11 window or through xpra, it either doesn't run or immediately aborts, while I'm able to run teamviewer normally sitting in front of the linux machine.

I'd prefer to only run the single teamviewer window instead of doing some sort of double screenshare but that's currently looking like where I'll need to go.

​

Any help would be most welcome.
