Just a few days ago, we covered OnlineVNC, a VNC solution that allows you to control a remote PC via a web browser. Today, we will look into another VNC application called RealVNC, which is quite different from OnlineVNC in terms of the way it allows users to interact with a VNC server. Both the server and client (viewer) come packed into a single setup file. Instead of using the web browser, you need the Viewer application to access the shared machine from the remote location. Moreover, RealVNC supports multiple platforms, namely Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX, and has paid Viewer apps for Android and iOS as well. RealVNC is very powerful, and becomes quite user-friendly too once you get the hang of the VNC connection's setup process. Read on for more details. Read More

One of the reasons most users prefer VNC (Virtual Network Computing) over other desktop sharing techniques, is that it provides an easy way to access computers from remote locations. All you need is to configure the access settings of a target machine, including username, password and IP address, etc., to view/control it from remote locations using just a web browser. OnlineVNC provides this very facility by enabling you to connect to a remote PC via TCP/IP protocol. You may access, and if needed, control the remote machine no matter which OS you’re using. The VNC viewer uses Adobe Flash, and provides various Full Screen and Fit to Screen modes to let users easily view and control the target system. Furthermore, you can blacklist any IP address that you want to keep away from the remote machine. More details to follow. Read More
