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 ...
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 There is no server for macOS [3] and as of release 1.11.0 the Windows server is no longer maintained.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]
The VNC protocol allows the client and server to negotiate which encoding they will use. The simplest encoding, supported by all clients and servers, is raw encoding, which sends pixel data in left-to-right scanline order, and after the original full screen has been transmitted, transfers only rectangles that change. This encoding works very ...
RealVNC is a company that provides remote access software. Their VNC Connect software consists of a server (VNC Server) and client (VNC Viewer) application, which exchange data over the RFB protocol to allow the Viewer to control the Server's screen remotely.
NAT passthrough: the ability to connect to the server behind a NAT without configuring the router's port forwarding rules. It offers an advantage when you can't reconfigure the router/firewall (for example in case it is on the Internet service provider's side), but is a serious security risk (unless the traffic is end-to-end encrypted), because ...
In this scenario, the remote applications will use the Aero theme if the user connects to the server from a Windows Vista machine running Aero. [6] Later versions of the protocol also support rendering the UI in full 32-bit color, as well as resource redirection for printers, COM ports, disk drives, mice and keyboards.

x11vnc keeps a copy of the X server's frame buffer in RAM.The X11 programming interface XShmGetImage is used to retrieve the frame buffer pixel data. x11vnc compares the X server's frame buffer against its copy to see which pixel regions have changed (and hence need to be sent to the VNC viewers.)
