MultiVNC is a cross-platform Multicast-enabled VNC viewer based on LibVNCClient. The desktop version uses wxWidgets and runs on Unix, Mac OS X and Windows. There also is an Android version.
The roadmap for future developments regarding the project can be found here.
- Support for most VNC encodings including Tight.
- TLS support, i.e. AnonTLS and VeNCrypt.
- Support for SSH-Tunnelling with password- and privkey-based authentication.
- UltraVNC Repeater support.
- Discovery of VNC servers advertising themselves via ZeroConf.
- Bookmarking of connections.
- Import and export of saved connections.
- Virtual mouse button controls with haptic feedback.
- Two-finger swipe gesture recognition.
- A super fast touchpad mode for local use.
- Hardware-accelerated OpenGL drawing and zooming.
- Supports server framebuffer resize.
- Copy&paste to and from Android.

- 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 hubbe@hubbe.net, which in turn was based on ideas from x2x and code from vncviewer.
- Simple, loggable statistics.
- MulticastVNC ;-)
To get bleeding-edge packages built from the master development branch, navigate to the list of CI runs, select the last successful one and download the wanted artifact.
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.
You can get a modified libvncserver/libvncclient at https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/tree/multicastvnc - this is the same library that MultiVNC uses internally.
