<p class="MsoNormal">Basic question:</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone suggest something faster than X-Windows but more secure than VNC server?</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Details:</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have applications that run as X applications. The vendor is used to running this in VNC Server but that isn’t very secure.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We instead gave X access on MS-Windows desktops using Exceed or Cygwin/X and the applications are exported back to the users’ desktop. Since we’re doing this via ssh X tunneling it is encrypted.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The users continually complain that this is too slow for their needs. We did initially give a single VPN session access to a remote consultant using VNC because it was clearly too slow going over the multiple hops it took to him in Pennsylvania.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now I’m being asked to either turn on VNC Server for the users to access internally or propose an alternative solution. </p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there such a thing as a host based service like VNC Server but that makes an encrypted connection to the users’ desktop so that only the display is being sent encrypted rather than having to draw on the desktop. Is there a way to make
the VNC connection encrypted?</p><p></p>
