RE: VNC Repeater

For feature requests and bug reports RC15 RC16. Please use the forum at http://forum.ultravnc.net/

I'm using the UltraVNC Repeate service as well. Our helpdesk supports
the clients that way, with a SingleClick version of the VNC server our
customers download from our site.

The service is still not stable enough. It must be registered as a
service (using the -install switch) and configured to restart
automatically upon failure - and it fails a lot.
There are even times I need to restart it manually, because no new
connections can be registered and made.

In the bottom line, I can say the repeater service is very helpful, but
need some more work:
1. The failures and hangs from time to time.
2. An ability to use pure HTTP or SLL to bypass those "smart" firewalls
that trap and discard the packets on non-standard outgoing ports, and
non-http or non-ssl packets on port 80 and 443.
