SSVNC Description

Add encryption security to VNC connections SSVNC is a free and open source package that provides a GUI for Mac OS X that automatically starts up an STUNNEL SSL tunnel for SSL or ssh for SSH connections to x11vnc or any other VNC server. Then it launches the VNC Viewer to use the encrypted tunnel. The provided unix viewer, ssvncviewer, has many enhancements over regular viewers.NOTE: SSVNC is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License and GNU General Public License (GPL). What's New in This Release: · VeNCrypt and ANONTLS SSL encryption is now supported on all platforms including Windows. Additionally, the SSVNC VeNCrypt bridge enables VeNCrypt and ANONTLS encryption for *any* third party VNC Viewer on Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows (Options -> Advanced -> Change VNC Viewer.) · On Unix and Mac OS X reverse (viewer listening) VNC connections can show a Popup dialog asking whether to accept the connection or not. The extra info provided by UltraVNC Single Click reverse connections is also supported. · Different fonts and sizes may be set for the SSVNC encryption GUI via ~/.ssvncrc or environment variable. · Global default values of settings for the encryption GUI may be set by saving them to the profile named "defaults". · The drawing performance of the Hextile encoding has been improved and the use of it can now be toggled in the Popup menu. Miscellaneous new features and changes: · Wrapper scripts check for missing utilities, and prints out a warning message that a package containing it needs to be installed. · The reliability of the VeNCrypt or ANONTLS protocol automatic detection has been improved. The usage mode is better documented. · One can instruct the Unix ssvncviewer to not use the terminal window it is running in for prompting (i.e. popup windows are used instead.) · Pipelined Updates can now be disabled in the GUI. Any extra options to the Unix ssvncviewer can be specified in the GUI. Commas can be used to separate encoding types in addition to spaces. · The 'SSH Local Port Protections' connect time limit has been increased from 15 to 35 seconds.
