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 There is no server for macOS [3] and as of release 1.11.0 the Windows server is no longer maintained.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]
Alternatively, a machine (which may be a workstation or a network server) with screen, keyboard, and mouse can be set up to boot and run the VNC server as a service or daemon, then the screen, keyboard, and mouse can be removed and the machine stored in an out-of-the way location. Users commonly deploy VNC as a cross-platform remote desktop system.
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.
TightVNC is a free and open-source remote desktop software server and client application for Linux and Windows.A server for macOS is available under a commercial source code license only, without SDK or binary version provided. [3]
UltraVNC allows the use of a remote computer as if the user were in front of it. This is achieved by sending mouse movements and key-presses to the remote computer, and replicating the remote computer's display (subject to differences in resolution) locally in real time. UltraVNC bears a strong resemblance to RealVNC Free Edition.

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.)
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.
