Ok, so how do I know my VNC is secure? [edit] I don't have anything like VNC set-up, but maybe we (I) can learn something from this.

- NDizzle 12y agoDo you at least require a password?
- elahd 12y agoMinimally, require a password. This password would be separate from your Windows/Linux/OSX account password. You could also use a non-standard port or configure some sort of port knocking system, or just close the VNC port to the outside world and allow connections over VPN or SSH tunnels only.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoIs it running through an SSH tunnel? If not, its not remotely secure. Switch to NX instead.
- deadfece 12y agoJust an FYI here, but UltraVNC and RealVNC Enterprise do support VNC encryption. http://adamwalling.com/SecureVNC/ http://adamwalling.com/SecureVNC/ https://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/documentation/5.0/guides/user/aj1078704.html https://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/documentation/5.0/guide...
- ultramancool 12y agoTo not appear on this list, just set a password. To actually be secure: Bind only to localhost, tunnel over SSH, OpenVPN, etc.
- reidrac 12y agoI usually make it available on localhost and use an SSH tunnel to access to it. Nothing fancy, but effective.
