Interesting...Secure VNC??
Authored by: Anonymous on Sep 18, '01 01:19:36AM

So, lets say I have apache/mod_ssl installed and running and put access to the VNC viewer in a secure page, would my VNC connection be encrypted? Can I have IPFW blocking all ports except 80/443 and this will still work as IPFW would see it as a localhost connection which are not filtered? Would the VNC viewer connect over the http port automatically? Can I block the standard VNC port with IPFW/brickhouse and still get connections over the secure apache port? Or am I all wrong on these assumptions?

I dislike any method of connecting to my mac remotely that is not secure as I am in a campus environment and there are bound to be sniffers on the network.
