Best VNC Server Software?

bergz

I need a secure VNC server to access another Mac over the internet. Both are just running the OS X firewall. One is Jaguar 10.2.6 the other is Panther.



I've been looking into:



Share My Desktop

OSXvnc

RealVnc



Apart from online security, the other consideration is ease of installation.



If you could also list the reasons you like your preferred server as well as the viewer you use with it (and on what systems) I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

AFAIK there is no easy way for a secure connection. You need to pipe it through an SSH tunnel but it isn't like hitting a simple button. Google: VNC SSH Mac" and see what you get.



Share My Desktop is just a new front-end for OSXvnc but i like it more than OSXvnc. IIRC, RealVNC doesn't have a Mac version

ARD CLIENT 2.1 can be used with vnc ...

Wouldn't it be just as secure to vnc thru a VPN connection?
