| Hi, im running ultravnc on my computer which i want to be able to connect to from school. The default port to use in a web browser is 5800 but this is blocked so i have to use a different one. I heard i could use port 8080, is this correct and safe to keep open on my router? Thanks

| UltraVNC has an optional feature for encrypting data traffic between the server and the viewer. Basic security for UltraVNC is only authentication, which is not enough to protect the connection. http://www.uvnc.com/features/index.html Encryption adds overhead, therefore will slow your connection. |
