Hi, I just tried it. The fast behaviour is there, but not all the time. It isn't consistent. If I start up a windows based VNC viewer, I the the ssslllooowww connection. But if I disabel ZA and renable it, it sometimes become a fast connection. I wonder if it is still being monitored by ZA in that case.
