Possible to deny myself access to the remote computer, if a remote request to take control of the computer is made from there while i am in listen-mode?
Ok, I guess that sounded a bit confused ... an example:
Let's say two different remote computers wants me to take control, and since they have firewall I take control via the listen-mode in the ultravnc-viewer.
But since i can't take control of two computers at once, it would be nice if i could somehow control that they didn't request for help simultanously.
It would be nice with a unique i.d or something, the remote computer should give out, before i took control of the computer...
Damn, I'm not good at formulating this problem, does anyone even get anything of what i wrote?
Ok, one last try: lets say i remotely support 1000.000 different people. All via the listen-mode in the viewer.
Since i always have the viewer running, it would problematic if 1000 people connected to me at once. (especially if i was only interested in helping exactly ONE of those people).
Not doing it in listen-mode is no problem since its ME that controls exactly whom and when im gonna support.
Anyone understand the problem now ?

Possible to deny myself access to the remote computer ... ?
Ok, forget everything I wrote above in the previous post, now I think I'm able to ask the question nice and simple - here we go:
Is it possible to demand a password from the remote machine before it can make a request for help of the "controlling" machine ?
(with "request" i mean "add new client", since the "controlling" machine is in listenmode).

Thanks for your answer, and yes, i think that is basically the problem.
When I connect the "Normal" way to a remote computer, I'm in total of control of WHO and WHEN I'm going to help a specific person.
But when it happens in "listen-mode" I don't have exact control over who Im going to help, if for example two remote computers "adds a new client" (in that case ME) at the same time, I won't be able to control exactly who of those two I'm going to help.
In other words I don't have the same control over the situation when I have to rely on the "listen-mode" ...
See the problem now? (yes, I know I could still have explained it better )

What if you have them run a batch file that starts the vnc server, waits, then starts the add new client option with you ip or dns name automatically. Then have them download it from a website or something with a password that they need to get from you?
I would maybe just make it a rule that they need to contact you first via phone, email or messenger before connecting.
That's what I do for all my customers. They have to "Call First".

Hehehe, okay i see.
Well, for now that "call first"-rule clearly seem as the easiest thing to do for now, and I better stick to that then.
But the thing with having a batch-file that at least just put in my ip/port, instead of the client needing to add my ip manually, that indeed sounds very clever ... how would I do that precisely? (ok ok, I promise that will be my last question ......for a good amount of time ... )
