I was trying out Single Click UltraVNC and think it is great. The only problem I would have is that I want to use encryption and the viewer will be a Linux workstation. Is there any way to use a Linux UltraVNC client with encryption? I was wondering if it would be possible with a repeater setup. Could the repeater do the decryption and then use a normal VNC client to connect to it? I haven't looked at the repeaters at all yet, but I would guess that it could possibly be done that way. Thank you.

No, encryption is done by the MS encryption api.....
Our code is full encryption free (export)
Decryption is bound to windows
unless the encryption api also exist on linux..
The repeater is "stupid", he only accept data and send it to an other place. Current implemention can not do any decryption.
Your idea is not bad, but hard to implement and would still require some minor unix modifications.
Did you already tried running it in wine...The viewer use very basic code so it possible can run in emulation.
Sorry

Is the encryption on all traffic, or is it just on the raw data with the protocol left unaffected? It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to write a tunnel to decrypt the needed parts. Is there anything tricky about the encryption, or is it just normal RC4 with the key contained in the key file? Thank you for the quick reply.
