TigerVNC is an open source Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server and client software, started as a fork of TightVNC in 2009. [2] The client supports Windows, Linux and macOS. The server supports Linux. There is no server for macOS [3] and as of release 1.11.0 the Windows server is no longer maintained. [4]
Since the 2.0 beta, TightVNC supports auto scaling, which resizes the viewer window to the remote users desktop size, regardless of the resolution of the host computer. [citation needed] TightVNC 1.3.10, released in March 2009, is the last version to support Linux/Unix. [8] This version is still often used in guides to set up VNC for Linux. [9 ...
VNC by default uses TCP port 5900+N, [6] [7] where N is the display number (usually :0 for a physical display). Several implementations also start a basic HTTP server on port 5800+N to provide a VNC viewer as a Java applet, allowing easy connection through any Java-enabled web-browser. Different port assignments can be used as long as both ...
The Windows App is a Remote Desktop Protocol client that allows users to connect to Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Microsoft Dev Box instances. Additionally, on non-Windows platforms excluding the browser, the Windows App allows users to connect to servers running Remote Desktop Services and remote PCs. [ 22 ]
Remmina is in the package repositories for Debian versions 6 (Squeeze) and later and for Ubuntu versions since 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). [6] [7] As of 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), it replaced tsclient as Ubuntu's default remote desktop client. [8] [9] The FreeBSD ports/package collection also contains it as a separate port and additional protocol-specific ...
Listening mode: where a server connects to a viewer. The server site does not have to configure its firewall/NAT to allow access on a defined port; the onus is on the viewer, which is useful if the server site has no computer expertise, while the viewer user would be expected to be more knowledgeable.
A Windows-only client, VNC Viewer Plus was launched in 2010, designed to interface to the embedded server on Intel AMT chipsets found on Intel vPro motherboards. RealVNC removed VNC Viewer Plus from sale on 28th February 2021. [4] For remote access to view one computer desktop on another, RealVNC requires one of three subscriptions:
The initial versions of the XRDP project relied on a local VNC server installation that had to be present alongside the program, in order to relay the graphics and controls between the user and the server [7] (known as the "VNC forwarding mode"). However, this mode is currently not recommended to use anymore, due to its slow performance.
