Some type of encryption would be great, the more
secure the better, and how is the passwd
encrypted/authed anyway? Maybe you can toss
that on the site just for info.

    It would be very nice, but you can still use a simple SSH
    tunnel to do this.

    Encryption would be a real win. I see the explanation about
    password encryption has been added to the website. Thank you.

    If the client could encrypt traffic to and from the server
    similar to SSL like RADMIN or other tools do that would be
    helpful, allowing for work on sensitive data without having
    to install seperate libraries and tools to do the encryption.

    Sorry I should clarify. I'm looking at a Windows application
    across the Internet, windows server, windows client etc.
    Thanks for your hard work.
    Greg.

    ssh works fine... for an admin. I wanted to use VNC to give
    a regular user access to his computer from outside, but it
    is totally unsuitable, as password and all data are passed
    in the clear, and it would have been fairly difficult to
    walk him through setting up an ssh tunnel.
    realVNC has this, in the commercial version. I am really
    surprised that not only ssl but real authentication have not
    been added to tightvnc (which is otherwise my favorite vnc
    flavor).
