Running VNC without an SSH tunnel is the normal way of running it, and TigerVNC supports that quite well. If it isn't allowing you to connect directly to the VNC server, then the only explanation I have is that the firewall on the server is blocking those incoming ports (VNC uses port 5900+desktop_number.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.
