Zero latency on the local network. Feels like the input would be directly fed to the remote machine. It is a bit of a hassle to set it up to run server on boot, but after 2-3 hours everything is exactly as I would like to have it.
I keep coming back to TigerVNC because TightVNC has no encryption, but each time I ditch the effort. On my latest try it was because I could not get the encryption to work with my client (can't use their own viewer on it) and it was much slower than TightVNC on my setup.
Couldn't get this to connect to VNC on Mac, not sure why, kept saying it wasn't matching Security options. Yet my Windows and iPad apps connect with no issues. I tried several options, gave up and installed VNC Viewer (vnc connect)
Doesn't work very well. Tried it with Windows 10 and the latency was around up to 3 seconds. It's unusable for me. If you open the startmenu, it updates only some parts of it: The result is a garbled image. My setup: Running a server on my laptop, connected via 5GHz WiFi. Running the viewer on my PC, connected via 1Gbps LAN. On the same local network. I mean... at least it's free...
