Features
Terminology
In the table above, the following terminology is intended to be used to describe some important features:
- Listening mode : where the server is connected to the audience. The server site does not have to configure firewall/NAT to allow access on port 5900 (or 5800); the responsibility is on the viewer, which is useful if the server site does not have computer skills, while the user of the viewer is expected to be more knowledgeable.
- Installed Encryption : software has at least one method of encrypting data between local and remote computers, and encryption mechanisms built into the remote control software.
- File Transfer : software allows users to transfer files between local and remote computers, from within the client software user interface.
- Audio Support : remote control software transfers audio signals across the network and plays audio through speakers attached to the local computer. For example, music playback software usually sends audio signals to locally-attached speakers, through some sound control hardware. If the remote control software package supports audio transfer, playback software can be run on the remote computer, while music can be heard from a local computer, as if the software is running locally.
- Multiple sessions : the ability to connect to servers in multiple users, and each see its different desktop
- Seamless Window : the software enables the application to run on the server, and only the application window is displayed on the client desktop. Usually remote user interface chrome is also removed, giving the impression that the application is running on the client machine.
- Remote Assistance : remote and local users can view the same screen simultaneously, so that remote users can help local users.
- Access Permission Request : Local users must approve the remote access session started.
- Passthrough NAT : the ability to connect to the server behind NAT without configuring router port forwarding rules. It offers an advantage when you can not reconfigure routers/firewalls (for example in that case on the side of an Internet service provider), but it is a serious security risk (unless end-to-end encrypted traffic), as all Traffic will pass through multiple a proxy server which in most cases is owned by a remote access application developer.
- Maximum simultaneous connection : number of clients connected to the same session
