Remote Support with Ultra VNC
The TeamViewer thing is kinda supsicious so I looked for something else to support my dad remotely. I came across the UVNC approach before so I decided to give it y try.
One thing to keep in mind when you do this is that the documentation is not always very straight.
First of all, make sure if you're on 64-bit operating systems that you use the 32-bit UVNC binaries. Otherwise the crypto plugin will not work. Second, make sure you use the RC4 plugin and do not experiment with the new one that comes with the binaries. The MSRC4Plugin.dsm is a separate download. Last but not least, I think (not verified) that you have to name the plugin with the _NoReg postfix and not as said in the docs without it.i
So once you got it all set up my personal VNCViewer invoke string looks like this:
vncviewer.exe -dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin_NoReg.dsm -listen 5500 -nocursorshape
Btw they currently have a beta website reachable on port 8080 which sometimes has addtional infos. But I'd go here first: UVNC Single Click
About
Originally this site was intended as a project site. The goal was to define standards for the perimeterless network using
open-source software. To be honest I simply do not have the time for such a thing. So what is left is a blog with sporadic
posts that are either helpful for myself or I think are helpful for others, too since I had a hard time finding information
on the Internet. Think of it as a knowledge base.
Ehm yes, somtimes I write down my two cents on any topic that may go through my mind at that point in time ;-)
