Enhanced TightVNC Viewer

The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer package is an excellent project that adds much-needed patches to the Unix TightVNC Viewer, which has been long-neglected. Moreover, the Enhanced TightVNC Viewer offers a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for both Unix and Windows. This GUI automatically starts the STUNNEL SSL tunnel for SSL connections to x11vnc or any other VNC Server running an SSL tunnel.

Thanks to this feature, users can enjoy SSL support while working with an SSL-enabled VNC server. Additionally, the program supports the configuration of SSH tunnelled connections.

The Viewer SSL support is provided through a wrapper script called bin/ssl_tightvncviewer. This wrapper script starts the STUNNEL tunnel first and then initiates the TightVNC viewer, which is pointed at that tunnel. On the other hand, the bin/ssl_vnc_gui application offers a user-friendly GUI front-end for that script, making the process even smoother.

This FAQ offers more details on SSL tunnelling. One exciting feature of Enhanced TightVNC Viewer is the rfbNewFBSize support. This feature enables the Unix viewer to resize automatically when the server does. Users can enable this feature by using the "x11vnc -R scale=3/4" remote control command. In conclusion, Enhanced TightVNC Viewer offers a comprehensive solution for all your VNC viewer needs, providing excellent user experience and support.
