-This is a Windows utility to automatically start up STUNNEL to redirect
-SSL VNC connections to a remote host. Then TightVNC Viewer (included)
-is launched to use this SSL tunnel.
-
-An example server would be "x11vnc -ssl", or any VNC server with a
-2nd STUNNEL program running on the server side.
-
-Just click on the program "ssvnc.exe", and then enter the remote
-VNC Server and click "Connect". Click on "Help" for more information
-information. You can also set some simple options under "Options ..."
-
-If you want that application to run in "SSH-ONLY" mode, click on
-the "sshvnc.bat" wrapper instead. Or enter SSH_ONLY.
-
-Note that on Windows when the TightVNC viewer disconnects you may need to
-terminate the STUNNEL program manually. To do this: Click on the STUNNEL
-icon (dark green) on the System Tray and then click "Exit". Before that,
-however, you will be prompted if you want ssvnc.exe to try to terminate
-STUNNEL for you. (Note that even if STUNNEL termination is successful,
-the Tray Icon may not go away until the mouse hovers over it!)
-
-With this STUNNEL and TightVNC Viewer wrapper you can also enable using
-SSL Certificates with STUNNEL, and so the connection is not only encrypted
-but it is also not susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
-
-See the STUNNEL and x11vnc documentation for how to create and add SSL
-Certificates (PEM files) for authentication. Click on the "Certs ..."
-button to specify the certificate(s). See the Help there for more info

-Misc:
-
- The openssl.exe stunnel.exe vncviewer.exe libeay32.dll
- libssl32.dll programs came from the websites mentioned above.
-
- IMPORTANT: some of these binaries may have cryptographic
- software that you may not be allowed to download or use.
- See the above websites for more information and also the
- util/info subdirectories.
-
- Also, the kill.exe and tlist.exe programs in the w98 directory
- came from diagnostic tools ftp site of Microsoft's.
-
-
-
-Important Note for Windows Vista: One user reports that on Windows Vista
-if you move or extract the "ssvnc" folder down to the "Program Files"
-folder you will be prompted to do this as the Administrator. But then
-when you start up ssvnc, as a regular user, it cannot create files in
-that folder and so it fails to run properly. We recommend to not copy
-or extract the "ssvnc" folder into "Program Files". Rather, extract
-it to somewhere you have write permission (e.g. C:\ or your User dir)
-and create a Shortcut to ssvnc.exe on the desktop.
-
-If you must put a launcher file down in "Program Files", perhaps an
-"ssvnc.bat" that looks like this:
-C:
-cd \ssvnc\Windows
-ssvnc.exe
