UltraVNC

Is this the option using OpenVPN?

Well... I kinda gave up on it for now.

The other alternative I was trying was setting up a PPTP VPN server on my Vista PC and would do the VNC through the VPN but I could not get the iPhone VPN client to successfully connect to my PC. It seems to work for others though.

Anyways, for anyone who ...

Nope... iOS OOTB VPN is not compatible with OpenVPN.

Yeah... I had thought about VPN but was lazy to research it better.

But since you mentioned it again... I'll take a look at this OpenVPN tonight.

I'll post my findins later.

Thanks, B.

Darn... 10 bucks down the drain, though I can still use the RealVNC client on my iPhone and even an unencrypted connection should be fairly safe, right? I can't imagine anyone spying on a 3G connection...

My real concern would be using the VNC on iPad, unencrypted, on a public wifi.

Well, thanks ...

I am using the DSM plugin in the server side only.

The RealVNC app for iPad does not have any configuration screen for the encryption/security type, and the documentation is non-existing. This is all I could find in its Apple Store description:
* Connections encrypted using up to 256-bit AES ...

I have puchased the RealVNC iPad app and have UltraVNC Server 1.0.9.5 installed on Vista 32-bit.

It works perfectly without encryption (locally and remote) but I want to use the iPad from work to connect to my PC at home, so I tried AES encryption using SecureVNCPlugin.DSM and AESV2Plugin.DSM ...
