What is VNC Viewer?

VNC Viewer is a remote desktop software that lets you control a computer remotely via the VNC (Virtual Network Computing) protocol. It enables you to connect from a computer or mobile device to a VNC server (the computer sharing its screen) to perform actions as if sitting directly in front of that machine.

• Remote computer control: Access and operate another computer from anywhere.

• Multi-platform support: Can be used on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android.

• Intuitive graphical user interface: Displays the remote computer screen, enabling easy operations.

• Easy to use: Only requires installing VNC Server on the machine to be controlled and VNC Viewer on the accessing machine.

• VPS with VNC Server service enabled (typically pre-installed with Virtualizor if used at VPTS).
