MultiVNC is a cross-platform Multicast-enabled VNC viewer based on

[LibVNCClient](https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver). The desktop version

uses [wxWidgets](https://www.wxwidgets.org/) and runs on Unix, Mac OS X and

Windows. There also is an [Android version](/android/).

The roadmap for future developments regarding the project can be found

[here](https://github.com/bk138/multivnc/projects?type=classic).

## MultiVNC for Desktop

### Features

* Support for most encodings including Tight.

* TLS support, i.e. AnonTLS and VeNCrypt.

* Discovery of VNC servers advertising themselves via ZeroConf. 

* Bookmarking of connections.

* Supports server framebuffer resize.

* Several connections with one viewer using tabs.

* Listen mode (Reverse VNC). Via tabs it's possible to listen 

  for and serve multiple incoming connections.

* Record and replay of user input macros.

* Under X11, seamless control of the remote side by moving pointer over the

  (default upper) screen edge. Borrows heavily from x2vnc by

  Fredrik Hübinette , which in turn was based on

  ideas from x2x and code from vncviewer.

* Simple, loggable statistics.

* MulticastVNC ;-)

### How to get it

[](https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.christianbeier.MultiVNC)

To get bleeding-edge packages built from the master development branch, navigate to

[the list of CI runs](https://github.com/bk138/multivnc/actions/workflows/ci.yml),

select the last successful one and download the wanted artifact.

### How to build

The prerequisites:

* the usual c-compiler with headers and stuff

* wxWidgets dev package version >= 3.0

* zlib dev package 

* libjpeg dev package 

After cloning the repo, do

```

   git submodule init

   git submodule update

```

To build:

```

   mkdir build

   cd build

   cmake ..

   cmake --build .

   cpack

```

Depending on which OS you are on, you end up with a .deb, .dmg or .exe you can install.

## MulticastVNC notes

You can get a modified libvncserver/libvncclient at

https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/tree/multicastvnc -

this is the same library that MultiVNC uses internally.
