About droidVNC-NG VNC Server

droidVNC-NG is an open-source Android VNC server app for local networks. It comes with the following feature set:

Remote Control & Interaction

• Screen Sharing: Share your device's screen over the network, with optional scaling on the server side for better performance.
• Remote Control: Use your VNC client to control your device, including mouse and basic keyboard input. To enable this, you must activate the Accessibility API Service on your device.
• Special Key Functions: Remotely trigger key functions like 'Recent Apps,' Home button, and Back button.
• Text Copy & Paste: Support for copying and pasting text from your device to the VNC client. Note that server-to-client copy & paste only works automatically for text selected in editable text fields or manually by sharing text to droidVNC-NG via Android's Share-To functionality. Also, only text in the Latin-1 encoding range is currently supported.
• Multiple Mouse Pointers: Display different mouse pointers for each connected client on your device.

Comfort Features

• Web Browser Access: Control your device’s shared screen directly from a web browser, without needing a separate VNC client.
• Auto-Discovery: Advertise the VNC server using Zeroconf/Bonjour for easy discovery by native clients.

Security & Configuration

• Password Protection: Protect your VNC connection with a password.
• Custom Port Settings: Choose which port the VNC server uses for connections.
• Startup on Boot: Automatically start the VNC service when your device boots up.
• Default Configuration: Load a default configuration from a JSON file.

Advanced VNC Features

• Reverse VNC: Allow your device to initiate the VNC connection to a client.
• Repeater Support: Connect to a repeater that supports UltraVNC-style Mode-2 for more flexible networking.
