5.3.3 Desktop Sharing: Thinfinity VNC Access Profile

Thinfinity VNC is a proprietary screen-sharing protocol offering faster and more secure remote access than traditional VNC solutions. Optimized for web-based access, it allows users to connect to Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops or specific applications using only an HTML5-enabled browser—no need for plugins, add-ons, or client applications.

To create a Thinfinity VNC Access Profile and publish your remote desktop (Windows, macOS, or Linux) follow these steps:

1

Start the Access Profile Wizard

Click on the New Profile button in the dashboard home page or alternatively, click the +Add button from the Access Profiles tab of the Settings menu.

2

Select an Access Profile Type

Select Desktop and click Next.

3

Choose the Desktop Connection Type

Select the Thinfinity VNC desktop connection, then click Next.

4
