Re: not vpn just a remote desktop client VPN

["Steve satdx" <satdx ukonline co uk>]

What are you lot on

VNC is not a VPN anything in fact the security is rubish unless you use it
through SSH
VNC is just a remote desktop program terminal server or pcanywhere damewhere
type program.

Just port forward port 5800 and 5900 TCP through your router and firewall to
the pc you want to remotly work
then just connect using the public ip any hey it is my desktop.

unless they have changes it a lot it the last year or so.
