Multiply that by 2 or 3 attempts a second from different infected windows machines and it comes to a screeching halt.įor myself I’ll just leave those passthroughs off unless I specifically think I’m going to need them.

It seems that a failed password attempt causes the VNC server to hang up for a fraction of a second. Just as a test I turned the VNC passthrough off on my router and guess what? I can now VNC like I could before and I can get 70meg a second throughput when dragging large files onto the VNC window! It was truly awful to try to type in an edit script window on the machine remotely, but now it’s wonderful again. They are just running through the list of most common passwords and dictionary words hoping that my password is just “secret” and I’ve just ignored them up until now. I have the ports for VNC passed through my router so I can log in remotely if I ever needed to. Just gazing at my system logs the other day I watched 3 or 4 zombied windows machines trying to log into my VNC server as it’s exposed to the internet. Connecting over regular SMB file sharing to it results in more than 70 meg a second throughput. Of course it never occurred to me to test other throughput to the server. I’ve run new ethernet cables, I’ve tried plugging directly into the switch. I’ve spent months fighting with it, restarting seems to help for a few minutes but it comes right back.

This was also excruciatingly slow. Like 200k a second slow rather than the 60 or 70 megs a second I would expect.

I normally load test versions of XTension by dragging them and dropping them onto the VNC window. On and off I’ve had a problem with my house server where the remote desktop or VNC connection was just so slow that it was almost unusable.
