<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Details:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We have applications that run as X applications. The vendor is used to running this in VNC Server but that isn’t very secure.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Now I’m being asked to either turn on VNC Server for the users to access internally or propose an alternative solution. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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
