About

MultiVNC is a cross-platform SSH-enabled VNC viewer.

Key features include:

  • Support for most encodings including Tight.
  • TLS support, i.e. AnonTLS and VeNCrypt, including support for self-signed certificates.
  • Support for SSH-Tunnelling with password- and privkey-based authentication.
  • Unicode copy and paste to and from the VNC server.
  • Discovery of VNC servers advertising themselves via ZeroConf.
  • Bookmarking of connections.
  • UltraVNC Repeater support.
  • Supports server framebuffer resize.
  • Several connections with one viewer using tabs.
  • Listen mode (Reverse VNC). Via tabs it's possible to listen for and serve multiple incoming connections.
  • Record and replay of user input macros.
  • Under X11, seamless control of the remote side by moving pointer over the (default upper) screen edge.
  • Simple, loggable statistics.
