Brian:
Hello again. :) If you're running a VNC Server on the same
PC that you're running Kaboodle, *and* you initiate a VNC connection
via the Kaboodle UI, then the VNC connection will be secured. Also,
if you let Kaboodle "auto-start" the VNC Server only when it needs
to, then the VNC Server will be setup to run in "LoopbackOnly" mode,
so it won't accept connections from anywhere else.
Hope this helps!
