Support Encryption Plugin for UltraVNC - SecureVNCPlugin.dsm

[neos...@gmail.com]

Would it be possible to extend support for the "SecureVNC Plugin" for UltraVNC?

The creator of this plugin is Adam D. Walling

• x86 / 32-bit
• SecureVNCPlugin.dsm
• x64 / 64-bit
• SecureVNCPlugin64.dsm
• Source

Hi,

First the facts. The plugin has not received a single update in 8
years. There are no developer docs. There is no community, mailing
list, or discussion forum. The author, Adam Walling, does not respond
to any kind of questions.

Now, the opinion. I would consider the plugin insecure at this point,
and extending support for it involves reverse-engineering 8 year old
C++ code with hardly any comments in it, no developer mailing list, no
support forum, and no replies to my questions. I think that given here
are better options out there, it's not worth spending the time on
writing support for the plugin for the moment. I have also resigned
myself to all the 1-star and 2-star reviews that say bVNC does not
support it.

That is not to say that help from my community in reverse engineering
the Secure Plugin protocol and writing the code for bVNC is not
welcome!

Let me take the opportunity to mention some of the awesome
alternatives to this plugin.

1) SSH tunneling. An OpenSSH server can be installed on practically
any operating system including Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and BSD.
2) VeNCrypt. This encryption method is supported by one or more VNC
servers, including the cross-platform TigerVNC server.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, or you would like
to contribute code to support the plugin!

Sincerely,
iordan

Really! Do you deleted my reply? It's your forum, but I cannot understand your strange decision.

The only thing I said, it is to thank your response and I expressed my support to your project.

I take note of that.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that I revisited the SecureVNCPlugin for UltraVNC recently and saw that it was included in the main UltraVNC project and is being maintained together with the server.

As a result,  in version v6.4.5 of bVNC (in Beta as of June 22, 2026), I have released support for all main features of SecureVNCPlugin for UltraVNC, including:

    - Support for all AES-based ciphers
    - SecureVNCPlugin Passphrase authentication
    - SecureVNCPlugin + MS-Logon 1 and 2 authentication as alternative to passphrase
    - Client key authentication
    - Client key generation and import
    - Best-effort connection in "Basic VNC" mode

Join the beta on Google Play, or install v6.4.5 from:

https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/releases

or F-Droid repo:

https://android.izzysoft.de/repo/apk/com.iiordanov.freebVNC

Switch to "UltraVNC" for the Connection Type to see the full range of new options related to the feature.
