MultiVNC is a cross-platform Multicast-enabled VNC viewer based on LibVNCClient. The desktop version uses wxWidgets and runs on Unix, Mac OS X and Windows. There also is an Android version.

The roadmap for future developments regarding the project can be found here.

• Support for most VNC encodings including Tight.
• TLS support, i.e. AnonTLS and VeNCrypt.
• Support for SSH-Tunnelling with password- and privkey-based authentication.
• UltraVNC Repeater support.
• Discovery of VNC servers advertising themselves via ZeroConf.
• Bookmarking of connections.
• Import and export of saved connections.
• Virtual mouse button controls with haptic feedback.
• Two-finger swipe gesture recognition.
• A super fast touchpad mode for local use.
• Hardware-accelerated OpenGL drawing and zooming.
• Supports server framebuffer resize.
• Copy&paste to and from Android.

See the Android version's README.

• Discovery of VNC servers advertising themselves via ZeroConf.
• Bookmarking of connections.
• Supports server framebuffer resize.
• Several connections with one viewer using tabs.
• Listen mode (Reverse VNC). Via tabs it's possible to listen for and serve multiple incoming connections.
• Record and replay of user input macros.
• Under X11, seamless control of the remote side by moving pointer over the (default upper) screen edge. Borrows heavily from x2vnc by Fredrik Hübinette [email protected], which in turn was based on ideas from x2x and code from vncviewer.
• Simple, loggable statistics.
• MulticastVNC ;-)

• MultiVNC 0.5 (64bit) for Debian
• MultiVNC 0.5 (64bit) for Fedora/Redhat
• MultiVNC 0.5 (32bit) for Microsoft Windows

To get bleeding-edge packages built from the master development branch, navigate to the list of CI runs, select the last successful one and download the wanted artifact.

The prerequisites:

• the usual c-compiler with headers and stuff
• wxWidgets dev package version >= 3.0
• zlib dev package
• libjpeg dev package

After cloning the repo, do

   git submodule init
   git submodule update

To build:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   cmake --build .
   cpack

Depending on which OS you are on, you end up with a .deb, .dmg or .exe you can install.

You can get a modified libvncserver/libvncclient at https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/tree/multicastvnc - this is the same library that MultiVNC uses internally.
