easy-novnc
An easy way to run a noVNC instance and proxy with a single binary.
Features
- Clean start page.
- CIDR whitelist/blacklist.
- Optionally allow connections to arbitrary hosts (and ports).
- Ensures the target port is a VNC server to prevent tunneling to unauthorized ports.
- Can be configured using environment variables or command line flags (but works out-of-the box).
- IPv6 support.
- Single binary, no dependencies.
- Easy setup.
- Optional client for local TCP connections tunneled through WebSockets.
