Re: CA Express/PC Anywhere warning

Hello Mike.
yes, VNC will work through a firewall, you got to open port
5900 for outgoing connections to get the password dialogue
and initial session handshake to work ...
Also, my tip is to always reduce the color depth to 8 bit to gain
speed, because VNC is still under development and compression
of their data stream is not yet implemented.
