to not caring about the security of the app until *after* it is going to
be used in the encrypted vpn tunnel?

can someone please explain this seemingly backwards logic?


It could be that the users/devices that share the VPN are untrustworthy amongst themselves :-) eg, you don't want your colleague that shares the same already-encrypted VPN, whereever they may reside on it, to eavesdrop on an internal unencrypted data stream. Hence a secure VNC session within an encrypted VPN. (does this make any sense?)

I'm having a few problems setting up RealVNC to work on a local network,
strangely TightVNC worked immediately but I prefer the security settings on
RealVNC as I am looking to eventually connect via a VPN connection.


Is there a way I can test the set up using localhost or 127.0.0.1, I did
try it but just got window after window after window appearing, which is understandable.


At the moment I have not got two computers on my adsl/router set up to
test it with.
