Hi,

for all my RasPis nowadays I'm tunnelling TigerVNV through Putty. TigerVNC is the successor of TightVNC, but both can be found via the 'add software'. RealVNC was said to eat too many resources (Raspi A+, 2013)

Somewhere I once read that RFB only supports 8 character passwords which I didn't find safe enough for a public Linux server. But I always only connect to one of the RasPis at a time so I can always use the same port.

Back when running a public AidaWeb server I used the Squeak RFBserver also tunnelled through Putty. But that had enough power.

The same setup works on my Linux and on my Windows laptop.

Cheers,

Herbert

A couple of extra points from my experience using the RFB server -

- the RealVNC viewer I use for my Pi systems doesn't connect properly,

I have been using vinagre as my VNC client for quite a few years, and it
works fine for me. But according to the all-knowing internet, vinagre is
now "discontinued" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinagre) so I don't
know what to recommend for a modern Linux VNC client.
