About:
Real VNC Server is a high-performance remote desktop server that allows you to view and control a computer's desktop from another device over a network or the internet. It uses the industry-standard VNC protocol to provide secure, reliable access for system administration and technical support. The software includes strong encryption and robust access controls to ensure safe remote connections.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform remote access
  • End-to-end encryption
  • Direct and cloud connectivity
