I'm looking for a way to access a GUI desktop on a Centos 7 server from a Windows client.

I'm looking for a solution that works over the internet from afar. Are there any known working solutions?

I tunnel vnc over ssh when using it at a distance. There are numerous tutorials online that will tell you how to do this. The one and only time I set this up to run on a Windows machine, I used a program named putty to create a ssh connection to Centos server machine, and then ran the tightvnc client program on the Windows machine.

"yum install tigervnc-server" gets you what you need on the server side. Putty and tightvnc for Windows are available for download from their respective websites.
