This was covered earlier.

In configuration on Client, under Access Control Tab, you can setup IP 
ranges where someone in that range can do one of three things, 1) Allow 
no approval, Query ask for Approval, or Deny to never allow access.  
This list is read top down to the last entry should have from 0.0.0.0 to 
255.255.255.255 DENY.  With this being last, you can prevent accidental 
access from any other than those allowed,  There is also a Query 
setting.  This allows for possible access if owner of server is away or 
off work.  I Use on query 45 seconds as reject on my machine, meaning I 
have to be logged in and at machine to approve.  I am in IT an need to 
manage systems with no user on sight.  So the users would have 45 
seconds and Accept connection.

If you are with a large company with many sub-nets, you may need several 
First/Last IP to get what you want.

Hi,

I’ve set up TightVNC server, but currently the client can connect
whenever the remote computer is active and without the remote user
knowing. I need the remote user to be able to approve or deny each
connection request.

The idea is that the client should only connect when they’re allowed
to and with the remote user’s consent.

Can TightVNC do that?

George
