The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer, SSVNC, adds encryption security to VNC
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
The package provides a GUI for Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix that
|
|
automatically starts up an STUNNEL SSL tunnel for SSL or ssh/plink for
|
|
SSH connections to any VNC server, such as x11vnc, and then launches the
|
|
VNC Viewer to use the encrypted tunnel.
|
|
|
|
The x11vnc server has built-in SSL support, however SSVNC can make SSL
|
|
encrypted VNC connections to any VNC Server if they are running an SSL
|
|
tunnel, such as STUNNEL or socat, at their end. SSVNC's SSH tunnel will
|
|
work to any VNC Server host running sshd that you can log into.
|
|
|
|
The SSVNC Unix vncviewer can also be run without the SSVNC encryption
|
|
GUI as an enhanced replacement for the xvncviewer, xtightvncviewer,
|
|
etc., viewers.
|
|
|
|
In addition to normal SSL, SSVNC also supports the VeNCrypt SSL/TLS and
|
|
Vino/ANONTLS encryption extensions to VNC on Unix, Mac OS X, and
|
|
Windows. Via the provided SSVNC VeNCrypt bridge, VeNCrypt and ANONTLS
|
|
encryption also works with any third party VNC Viewer (e.g. RealVNC,
|
|
TightVNC, UltraVNC, etc...) you select via 'Change VNC Viewer'.
|
|
|
|
There is a simplified SSH-Only mode (sshvnc). And an even more
|
|
simplified Terminal-Services mode (tsvnc) for use with x11vnc on the
|
|
remote side.
