Which TCP/IP ports does LapLink Secure VNC use?
A WinVNC server listens on two ports. The exact port numbers depend on the WinVNC display number, because a single machine may run multiple servers. The most important one is 59xx, where xx is the display number. The LapLink Secure VNC protocol itself runs over this port. So for most PC servers, the port will be 5900, because they use display 0 by default. In addition, WinVNC servers normally have a small and very restricted web server built in, which allows you to connect a browser to them and use the Java viewer. This runs on port 58xx. Note that this is the HTTP port used for downloading pages and applets, but once the applet is running it uses 59xx for WinVNC just like any other viewer. LapLink Secure VNC however, in order to provide 128 bit end to end encryption, as well as two levels of challenge-response schemes, does not utilize these VNC ports. Instead we leverage HTTPS to securely transmit your information over the Internet, using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. This is
