User-mode is that VNC runs under the currently logged-on user's account and
if that user logs off or reboots, the computer, VNC won't run until that
user logs in again. Service mode means that VNC runs as a "service" (like
your antivirus software, etc) and just sits in the background waiting for a
connection. Listening VNC Viewer means that your viewer is waiting for the
server to contact it and initiate a "reverse" connection -- i.e. the server
connects to the viewer instead of the usual way around. This is useful in
cases where the server computer is behind a firewall that the user doesn't
have control over / access to modify, and the viewer computer is either NOT
behind a firewall or has the correct port(s) open on the firewall, typically
port 5500.
