Hi Jeff, > What is the 'best' most secure way to communicate w/ VNC Server on a > network?
IMO the best way would be to have a SSH server on your Windows boxes and make a SSH tunnel between each. That way, no unencrypted VNC traffic crosses the network. I can't offer any insights to a SSH windows server - although there is a cygwin (sp?) unix port and some commerically available ones too. There is a thing called Stunnel ( http://www.stunnel.org/ ) with versions for *nix and Windows..... also there's a thing on that site about making links between too machines using stunnel - that would be what you want. Client side, I've been using Tunnelier this past few weeks and I'm very impressed. It's easy to use (GUI) and has command line options if you want to do clever clever stufff. You can get it from: http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier.html (free too!!) Another option would be to use the zVNC development from Dave Dyer. It's a windows only version of VNC that includes zebedee compression/encryption on port 6000. You could tell VNC to disallow 5900/5800 and only let in secure conenctions via 6000.
