VNC sessions are not encryted.
Try tunneling the traffic through a ssh session or a VPN connection
and you should be good.

First off, sorry Simon. I ment to send this to the list but sent it to
only you instead.
Now, on to my real question.
I'm looking to use VNC on my windows machine for remote logins. Currently
I only have the following open ports:
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
113/tcp closed auth
1352/tcp open lotusnotes
5902/tcp open vnc-2
5903/tcp open vnc-3
8080/tcp open http-proxy
Are there any security problems that I may be over looking by using VNC on
my machine?
Regards,
JL
