What is VNC and How it Works
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a platform that allows you to control a remote computer, server or other device. It is often used to control a remote system with graphical interface, meaning you can work on a remote computer with your local keyboard and mouse.
The connection takes place via the open source Remote Framebuffer (RFB) protocol and is compatible with operating systems such as macOS, Windows and Linux. The Remote Framebuffer protocol has been developed to provide an easy solution to a wide range of systems and configurations and offers more capabilities than old protocols.
Despite being quite easy to install and use, VNC is weaker than main current protocols such as SSH or Windows Remote Desktop in terms of security. However, VNC can be very useful if you are not connected to your server with standard methods. Our customers can use VNC while working on virtual servers (VPS or VDS).
