It's also possible to connect via a Terminal using GNU/Linux or macOS (with XQuartz) using the command

ssh -Y -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q -i /path/to/id_rsa_ukcatrXX [email protected]" -i /path/to/id_rsa_ukcatrXX ukcatrXX@ukca-vmXX

Host ukca-vmXX
Hostname ukca-vmXX
User ukcatrXX
IdentityFile /path/to/id_rsa_ukcatrXX
ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p -q -i /path/to/id_rsa_ukcatrXX [email protected]

this will then allow you to connect using `ssh -Y ukca-vmXX`.
