Overview

snf-vncauthproxy is a small gevent-based VNC proxy with man-in-the-middle authentication.

snf-vncauthproxy listens on a control channel (TCP socket) for control messages and sets up one-time port forwardings upon request. As soon as a client connects, vncauthproxy fakes an RFB 3.8 server to request authentication from the client. If the client authenticates successfully, a server connection is initiated by the proxy and both connections are bridged to allow transparent client-server communication.

Features include:

  • Lightweight, coroutine-based main loop with gevent
  • JSON-formatted requests and replies over the control channel
  • Port pooling for automatic selection of source port
  • Supports RFB protocol versions 3.3, 3.8
  • IPv4 and IPv6 support
  • Configurable timeout for client connections
  • Control channel over TCP, allowing isolated operation of VNC proxy clusters
