VNC connections over internet

Hi,

We have produced a VNCclient for the PPC (PTvnc2)
which is currently supplied with a modified version
of eSVNC for the PC.

I'd like to add greater security features for those people
using it over the internet (ie. not VPN).

To this end, is there a way of getting the server to check
the IP address of a client trying to connect (in VC++) ?

bye
Dave

Hi dave,

normally you do a recvfrom() to wait for a connection. Here is one parameter
'struct SOCK_ADDR* from', where winsock tells you which client wants to
connect to your device. Just check this ip with your own list and answer to
the packet or throw it away.

Best regards,
Oliver Münchow
