I "third" the use of x11vnc. I install it on all my client machines, along with a VPN.
Contrary to Fred's approach to a system-wide x11vnc (which is entirely
appropriate), I install the attached "x11vnc.desktop" file in
${HOME}/.config/autostart of the auto-logged-in user ("rd" in the case
of a vanilla installation from the Paravel instructions).
This enables VNC on display 0 (the primary X/wayland display), and any
VNC client can then connect. Unlike Fred's systemd technique, this
approach has the disadvantage of not working unless the user is logged in.
Hope this helps with yet another perspective...
