Looking for an open source and cross-platform VNC server and client with encryption support?

Question

VNC

Under Windows and Linux. It would seem a simple task, but no, you can’t see open-source AND supporting encryption somehow ...
Thanks in advance for the ideas.

Answer 1

Have you looked at TightVNC ?
That's just a problem with security so far:
How secure is TightVNC?
Although TightVNC encrypts VNC passwords sent over the net, the rest of the traffic is sent as is, unencrypted (for password encryption, VNC uses a DES-encrypted challenge-response scheme, where the password is limited by 8 characters, and the effective DES key length is 56 bits). So using TightVNC over the Internet can be a security risk. To solve this problem, we have plans to implement built-in encryption in future versions of TightVNC.
In the mean time, if you need real security, we recommend installing an SSH server, and using SSH tunneling for all TightVNC connections from untrusted networks.

Answer 2

What about the task?
Just generally forwarding the ssh port and connecting to it, that's security for you. But the whole question is generally in the task, maybe you need NX, for example, but you don’t know about it?
