Return to password box if login fails, instead of closing

Post by Guest »

When using your amazing program, if a login fails, UltraVNC closes and then the user has to open the VNC viewer again to try loging in again.

A great improvement will be that if the user types the wrong password, instead of closing the program after clicking ok to the login failed message, the program returns to the password box and after x number of tries it will block the user's IP or whatever.

I Agree, this is very annoying for a Windows application!

That shouldn't be a security problem either, as AFAIK there are additional checks to block possible intruders.

I agree too, but do not block the ip, just close the password box after x number of failed attempts.
