RealVNC

RealVNC is a proprietary remote access software suite that allows users to control one computer (the "server") from another computer or mobile device (the "viewer") over a network connection. The software is cross-platform, available for a wide range of operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, and various mobile operating systems like iOS and Android.

RealVNC operates using the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) protocol. This protocol allows the server computer's screen display to be mirrored on the viewer device, and for input devices (keyboard, mouse, touch) on the viewer to control the server.

RealVNC offers both free and commercial versions of its software. The free version typically has limitations in features and functionality compared to the commercial versions. Commercial licenses are available for both personal and professional use, often providing enhanced security features, advanced authentication methods, and technical support.

Key features of RealVNC include remote control, file transfer, print management, and chat functionalities, depending on the specific version and license. The software is widely used for remote support, system administration, and accessing personal computers from a distance. Security considerations are paramount, and RealVNC implements various security measures such as encryption and authentication to protect the remote connection.
