Hi Team,
I often remote into my client's computers to troubleshoot and want to assure them that I have logged off. Also want to make sure they know that I am actively still troubleshooting the computer. Other than the UltraVNC system tray icon, there is no other indication that there is an active session?
I've seen other products show a message in the bottom right corner of the desktop. See examples: https://www.screencast.com/t/APvKCiOBN0
Is there any way I can show a clear message on the remote computer that someone is remotely controlling their computer?

Hi all,
is there any solution for this request?
It would be awesome if the client get an message for activate/disable the session.

Re: Alert to show someone is remoted in
If this is being implemented, please make it optional/toggleable
Re: Alert to show someone is remoted in
Hello,
I am interested in that feature too.
In fact, we have to stop using UltraVNC because having that clear indication is an obligation through RGPD.
UltraVNC system tray icon is not enought.

Accepted, look indeed a good idea

This is the Autoit code that displays a transparent banner over all applications, I think in C it will be possible to write similarlyRudi De Vos wrote:Accepted, look indeed a good idea
Code: Select all
#include <GuiConstants.au3>
GuiCreate("My message box", 400, 78,(@DesktopWidth-400)/2, (@DesktopHeight-78)/2, $WS_POPUP + $WS_DLGFRAME)
WinSetTrans("My message box", "", 150)
WinSetOnTop("My message box", "", 1)
$Button_1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("OK", 340, 20, 50, 30)
$Label_2 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Here is some text", 20, 20, 300, 40)
GUICtrlSetFont($Label_2, 24)
GuiSetState()
While 1
$msg = GuiGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $Button_1
ExitLoop
EndSelect
WEnd
The first is to extend the blocking time after unsuccessful login attempts. E.g. 3 unsuccessful attempts = 5 minutes blockade, another attempt = 15 minutes, another 30 minutes, etc.
The second idea is to add the PIN function after successful login. If you do not provide the correct PIN after e.g. 3 minutes from logging in, the session is disconnected. This would provide a two-level password and would not require NT login etc. The PIN could be saved encrypted in the ultravnc.ini
