Thanks for your advice! It appears that Put ‘SecurityTypes=None’ in /etc/turbovncserver-security.conf on the host. gives a syntax error. I did download and install https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/blob/main/unix/turbovncserver-security.conf to /etc and added the line: permitted-security-types = VNC Does that remove encryption from all clients which connect to this host via TurboVNC? Thanks
