Initial Release of EchoVNC for Linux

The EchoVNC team is pleased to announce the long-awaited release of the EchoVNC Viewer for Linux. With EchoVNC, “firewall-friendly” VNC and Remote Desktop connections can be established to Windows and OSX PC’s regardless of firewall, router or web-proxy configuration.

Source and binaries (.deb and .rpm rollups) are available here:

EchoVNC for Linux supports the following features:

o Secure VNC and RDP sessions to Windows PC's and OSX Macs behind unconfigured firewalls, routers, and web-proxies
o Point-and-click connection initiation
o A "dynamic-DNS" capability for VNC Servers without static IP addresses
o End-to-end data security via OpenSSL's 128-bit AES encryption
o Support for HTTP, SOCKS and ISA/NTLM web-proxies

EchoVNC achieves its firewall-friendly capability from the echoWare toolkit. With echoWare, client-server and peer-to-peer Internet application can easily and securely connect with each other regardless of any intervening firewalls, routers, or web-proxies. EchoWare-enabled clients interconnect with each other via a packet-relay application called "echoServer" -- together with EchoVNC and InstantVNC (our "single-click", zero-install VNC Server) it's the basis of the EchoWare Remote Support System: a remote-desktop solution that is "firewall-friendly", highly secure, and extremely low cost.
