I've been using VNC happily for for many years now, with a Xvnc server
(Xvnc version 3.3.3r2+tight1.1p9) and a variety of clients, most
recently RealVNC 4.1.2

Last week, I found I could no longer connect, because of "too many
authentication errors."  It seems that someone has been trying, so far
unsuccessfully, to break into my Xvnc server.

My understanding what that further attempts were supposed to be
blocked only from the malicious IP, but, in fact, all attempts to
access to th server were blocked.

This looks like an unbelievably easy DOS attack on VNC.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I've taken my VNC server off-line
for now, but what a nuisance....

Many thanks.
