OSXvnc ReviewWhy not ask instead of posting ignorant statements... - Version: 3.0, 5/22/2008 11:53PM PST

The requests for posts on port 80 are so that Vine Viewer can perform a IP resolution for your internal and EXTERNAL IP addresses. You seriously call it suspect, posted in public showing you didn't even bother to email the company, and show your ignorance at the same time. I had your same concerns, but I tossed a www.redstonesoftware.com into a browser, found there support email address and got an answer back in less than 5 mins as to why it was doing what is was doing. Its providing a feature for you... And you posted your ignorance twice as well. Shame on you.

OSXvnc ReviewRock solid VNC server but.... - Version: 3.0, 4/17/2008 09:05AM PST

The VNC server is more flexible than OSX integrated VNC server allowing client to connect using less than millions colors improving reactivity when connecting on a machine.

It has a lot of option and can be started from the command line which is nice if you don't want to have it running all the time. (you can log in through ssh to start it when needed)

The server is advertised on the website a a free product (only the viewer requires a license) but it is periodically trying to connect to the port 80 on my machine even though there is no update autocheck functionality...

Why on earth does it need to access port 80 for? This is an extremely upsetting and suspect behavior.... :-(
