TightVNC

[wol]

Is it anymore secure than the basic VNC? I cant seem to find out anywhere!

The reason i ask is that im thinking about rolling it out in our latest build and want to put the most secure version on.

I don't think it makes a lot of difference, since all the different VNC servers & clients are interoperable

TightVNC is designed/optimised for slower modem connections iirc..

If you're concerned about security between client and server, you need to be looking at some form of 3rd party encryption that you can tunnel VNC through - lots of people use SSH (secure shell) with VNC. TightVNC, as stated, just uses less bandwidth so is better over slow links.


Getting SSH

Using VNC w/SSH

there's also Ultr@VNC - not really looked at it though.

Are you using this for internal Lan usage or across a WAN?

Internal LAN / VPN hence using tightvnc as it uses a bit less bandwidth
