x11vnc como alternativa Linux a RealVNC
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
x11vnc is a solid replacement for RealVNC if you need to expose an existing X11 session or a virtual display on a Linux box. It handles the core VNC protocol, supports password and TLS, and can run headlessly as a service. It is best suited for system administrators or developers who already run X11, not for users who want a turnkey Windows‑style VNC server with a GUI configuration tool.

Abrir tus archivos de RealVNC
RealVNC stores its server settings in a proprietary configuration file (.vnc or .conf) that x11vnc cannot read. You will need to reconfigure x11vnc manually using command‑line options or a custom config file; there is no direct import/export tool.
Pasar de RealVNC a x11vnc, paso a paso
- 1. Install x11vnc from your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt install x11vnc).
- 2. Create a password file with x11vnc -storepasswd and note the location.
- 3. Start x11vnc with desired options, e.g., x11vnc -auth guess -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -rfbport 5900.
- 4. If you need it to run on boot, create a systemd unit file or add the command to /etc/rc.local.
- 5. Test connectivity from a VNC client on another machine.
- 6. Disable or uninstall the old RealVNC server to avoid conflicts.

Does x11vnc support TLS encryption?
Yes, use the -ssl and -sslonly options to enable TLS for the VNC connection.
Can x11vnc run without an X server?
No, x11vnc requires an X11 session to capture the display. For headless servers, you need a virtual X server like Xvfb.

Not by default. You can wrap it in a script or use third‑party tools, but the standard distribution provides only command‑line configuration.
