MultiVNC

MultiVNC is a cross-platform SSH-enabled VNC viewer based on LibVNCClient. The desktop version uses wxWidgets and runs on Unix, Mac OS X and Windows. There also is an Android version.

The roadmap for future developments regarding the project can be found here.

Features

• Support for most VNC encodings including Tight.
• TLS support, i.e. AnonTLS and VeNCrypt, including support for self-signed certificates.
• Support for SSH-Tunnelling with password- and privkey-based authentication.
• Unicode copy & paste to and from the VNC server.
• Discovery of VNC servers advertising themselves via ZeroConf.
• Bookmarking of connections.
• UltraVNC Repeater support.
• Supports server framebuffer resize.
• Experimental support for MulticastVNC.

Desktop-only Features

• Several connections with one viewer using tabs.
• Listen mode (Reverse VNC). Via tabs it's possible to listen for and serve multiple incoming connections.
• Record and replay of user input macros.
• Multi-sync input where input to one connection is replicated to others.
• Under X11, seamless control of the remote side by moving pointer over the (default upper) screen edge. Borrows heavily from x2vnc by Fredrik Hübinette [email protected], which in turn was based on ideas from x2x and code from vncviewer.
• Simple, loggable statistics.

Android-only Features

• Import and export of saved connections.
• Virtual mouse button controls with haptic feedback.
• Two-finger swipe gesture recognition.
• A super fast touchpad mode for local use.
• Hardware-accelerated OpenGL drawing and zooming.

How to build

MultiVNC for Desktop

After cloning the repo, do

   git submodule update --init

Depending on which OS you are on, you end up with a debug version packaged as a .deb, .dmg or .exe you can install:

Linux

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
   cmake --build .
   cpack

MacOS/Windows

   conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing -s build_type=Debug
   cd build
   cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="conan_toolchain.cmake" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
   cmake --build .
   cpack

MultiVNC for Android

See the Android version's README.

MulticastVNC notes

You can get a modified libvncserver/libvncclient at https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/tree/multicastvnc - this is the same library that MultiVNC uses internally.
