This is a Windows utility to automatically start up STUNNEL to redirect
|
|
SSL VNC connections to a remote host. Then TightVNC Viewer (included)
|
|
is launched to use this SSL tunnel.
|
|
|
|
An example server would be "x11vnc -ssl", or any VNC server with a
|
|
2nd STUNNEL program running on the server side.
|
|
|
|
Just click on the program "ssvnc.exe", and then enter the remote
|
|
VNC Server and click "Connect". Click on "Help" for more information
|
|
information. You can also set some simple options under "Options ..."
|
|
|
|
If you want that application to run in "SSH-ONLY" mode, click on
|
|
the "sshvnc.bat" wrapper instead. Or enter SSH_ONLY.
|
|
|
|
Note that on Windows when the TightVNC viewer disconnects you may need to
|
|
terminate the STUNNEL program manually. To do this: Click on the STUNNEL
|
|
icon (dark green) on the System Tray and then click "Exit". Before that,
|
|
however, you will be prompted if you want ssvnc.exe to try to terminate
|
|
STUNNEL for you. (Note that even if STUNNEL termination is successful,
|
|
the Tray Icon may not go away until the mouse hovers over it!)
|
|
|
|
With this STUNNEL and TightVNC Viewer wrapper you can also enable using
|
|
SSL Certificates with STUNNEL, and so the connection is not only encrypted
|
|
but it is also not susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
|
|
|
|
See the STUNNEL and x11vnc documentation for how to create and add SSL
|
|
Certificates (PEM files) for authentication. Click on the "Certs ..."
|
|
button to specify the certificate(s). See the Help there for more info
|

Misc:
|
|
|
|
The openssl.exe stunnel.exe vncviewer.exe libeay32.dll
|
|
libssl32.dll programs came from the websites mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: some of these binaries may have cryptographic
|
|
software that you may not be allowed to download or use.
|
|
See the above websites for more information and also the
|
|
util/info subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
Also, the kill.exe and tlist.exe programs in the w98 directory
|
|
came from diagnostic tools ftp site of Microsoft's.

Important Note for Windows Vista: One user reports that on Windows Vista
|
|
if you move or extract the "ssvnc" folder down to the "Program Files"
|
|
folder you will be prompted to do this as the Administrator. But then
|
|
when you start up ssvnc, as a regular user, it cannot create files in
|
|
that folder and so it fails to run properly. We recommend to not copy
|
|
or extract the "ssvnc" folder into "Program Files". Rather, extract
|
|
it to somewhere you have write permission (e.g. C:\ or your User dir)
|
|
and create a Shortcut to ssvnc.exe on the desktop.
|
|
|
|
If you must put a launcher file down in "Program Files", perhaps an
|
|
"ssvnc.bat" that looks like this:
|
|
C:
|
|
cd \ssvnc\Windows
|
|
ssvnc.exe
|
