Re: How to secure VNC and port 5900

Thanks folks I will check out the tips. I am using putty for access to the Linux machine. I'll look into the ssh server. I was using a random 12 character password that I made up but it didn't help.

That log entry is just telling you that a remote host (on the internet) is accessing a machine on your LAN using port 5900. That is exactly what you're trying to do. What is the problem?
