Does anyone use TightVNC

Just curious, does anyone use TightVNC at all?

I used to 10 years ago. I don't use any form of VNC anymore.

We've got it installed across the site so we can access computers remotely. Set so connecting requires a password.

We use Impero here, but I'd be using something like Veyon for a free solution.

Like FN-GM, I've used *vnc variants in the past and for what they are, they work OK.

 

If you're set on VNC, I'd suggest using UltraVNC rather than Tight or Real. With UltraVNC, you can use AD credentials to authentication against it, rather than a static password.

I use Tight VNC to access the Printers! All the sharp MFPs use VNC. It's quite odd. (Only for troubleshooting, or verifying a new layout of the menu)

I vote for ultravnc

For the Raspberry Pis used in the curriculum, we have VNC enabled (the built-in RealVNC, I think), plus the somewhat-confusingly-named NoVNC, which puts a web interface in front of VNC so you can access it via your web browser. This lets us plug in the Raspberry Pis to power and connect by simply opening a web browser - handy as we have iMacs in our ICT lab, so no monitors with HDMI in to plug a Pi into.

At home, extensively. On a network - UltraVNC is the better bet like has been mentioned before as it has support for AD authentication.

Used to have it installed on every PC, now we use MEMCM so use the built in remote control in that instead.

I wouldn't use VNC due data in transit isn't encrypted. MEMCM Remote Control or quick assist are more secure.

Still use VNC here for remote pC viewing and photocopier screen viewing. All locked down so that only my workstation IP can connect to the clients, keeping it secure from prying eyes

Same, with our RM network.

 

Except I did NOT know you could use it for photocopier screen viewing? How'd you manage that, that's kinda cool!

It depends on the copier but some have a remote panel via VNC feature you usually have to enable in the settings. Used it on our Lexmarks and pretty sure our Sharps have it too.

Toshiba have this as well. It isn't enabled by default.

We have a fleet of samsung copiers which run android so has VNC built in to view the screens!

Does Xerox?
