How does Kaboodle work with VNC?
To understand how Kaboodle works with VNC, you must first have an understanding of how VNC works: VNC uses a protocol called Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) to communicate between clients (called “viewers” in VNC settings) and servers. The RFB protocol is transmitted over TCP/IP packets on your network, just like other protocols such as FTP and HTTP. RFB, however, was never designed to be a secure protocol for use across the Internet. It is possible for a malicious user on a network running VNC to “sniff” the RFB packets to spy on other computers or gain access to them. Kaboodle joins the family of third-party products which secure VNC by creating a cryptographically-secured connection and “tunneling” (or sending) the RFB packets through it. Beginning with Version 0.75, Kaboodle can secure VNC connections on the same network, provided it is installed on the computers running the VNC software. Future versions will extend this security to computers running on different networks and across the
