It’s also compatible with a wide range of VNC servers. However, using SSH to encrypt VNC communications can be a manually intensive and multi-step process requiring starting up SSH and VNC servers and configuring SSH and VNC clients for local or remote port forwarding.Īn Enhanced TightVNC Viewer, SSVNC, is a free multi-platform SSH/SSL VNC viewer that automates this process. For both aforementioned situations, SSH tunneling can be used to secure sessions between VNC servers and the most basic VNC client/viewers, regardless of any built-in protocols.
In addition, many VNC client/viewers tend to be basic, so they generally don’t include any built-in encryption support. Although a number of VNC (Virtual Network Computing) servers include some type of built-in encryption, most do not. VNC is one of many protocols used to share desktops between Linux and Windows PCs (see this Wikipedia entry for a comparison of various remote desktop software packages).
