You could try using http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html

I don't believe it requires any installation, just run it with the proper command line.

Glad you got it.

You may find that some features don't work exactly right if you use srvany. VNC sets an internal flag when it is run as a service that would not be set with srvany... so it would be stuck running in user mode as user SYSTEM.

"-servicehelper" allows the service to impersonate the currently logged on user. This lets the service access the user's HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry settings for configuration, instead of the SYSTEM user settings. Are you sure that Ultra has been installed as a service on that box? Sounds like you're ...

It means that if the "problem" is that there is a loss of connectivity, then the autoreconnect may fail because it is triggered *immediately* and *singly* after the client is disconnected from the server. It *does not* mean that the server will reconnect when the connection becomes available again ...

Autoreconnect means that when the viewer is closed (or loses connection), it will automatically try a reconnect. Works when the viewer is in listen mode only. Internally, autoreconnect just stores the information from -connect and uses that to try a *single* reconnect immediately after the viewer ...

It looks to me that RemotelyAnywhere wraps the traffic in SSL. Since browsers also use SSL to secure https traffic on port 443, the firewall lets it through. My recommendation to you is to use a SSH tunnel for the VNC traffic. This would fool the firewall into thinking the traffic is ok. Search ...

My point above was that the java viewer actually makes its connection on a different port. This is what's happening... 1. request: browser@office --443--> [FIREWALL] --443-5800--> winvnc@home 2. serve java: winvnc@home ---> [FIREWALL] ---> browser@office 3. try connect: javaviewer@browser@office ...

Port 5800 hosts a tiny web server that sends you a web page and the viewer java applet. However, once running the java applet itself connects using port 5900. You will need to forward this port as well.

The password field always contains ~~~~~~~~ , but this is not the password. It is a string that is used to see if the password has been modified or not. By default, there is no password set (empty password), which you will need to change to accept incoming connections.

Correct that the current *plugin* design would not support a key exchange mechanism *in stream*. Using a loopback interface, it is very possible to use any external system (SSH, ZeBeDee) to encapsulate the stream securely. If you could do a key exchange external to the plugin, then the plugin could ...

Basically, a secure key exchange would work this way: [A] = server (or more secure side) = client 1) [A] generates a public/private key pair (RSA, or other suitable...

1. The algorithm used is RC4, using the Microsoft CryptoAPI. (Hence MSRC4 plugin :) ) 2. SSL is a *protocol* that uses stream cyphers like RC4 for the bulk of the communication. Simplied, SSL does the additional step of securely negotiating and transmitting the encryption key before communication ...
