I am connected to a remote machine via ssh and created a bhyve VM here, but when I try to connect to the machine using vncviewer 127.0.0.0:5900 I get this message: 
TigerVNC viewer v1.15.0

If anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Are you starting vncviewer on the remote mechine in the ssh terminal?
vncviewer should be run on your local machine.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
