How to connect to a server using a VNC client (TightVNC/RealVNC Viewer)
vnc

Sometimes connecting to a server via Web VNC is not possible because of browser misconfiguration, or because of Internet Service Provider blocking certain ports, necessary for Web VNC. In this case, it’s possible to connect via VNC protocol itself.

1. Download and install a VNC client. For instance, TightVNC (https://www.tightvnc.com/download.php) or RealVNC Viewer (https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/).

2. Go to the VMManager control panel. In order to do that, read the activation email – it contains separate login and password for the VMManager at https://chelyabinsk.profitserver.net

3. Go to the Virtual machines menu, choose the virtual server you need to connect to, click the VM parameters button.

4. Find the VNC tab there. In that tab there are VNC server address, port and password. You can look at the password by clicking the Show/hide password button. All these parameters are necessary for VNC connection.

Connecting using TightVNC Viewer

1. If you have installed TightVNC, then open TightVNC Viewer. In the Remote Host field enter the IP address for VNC connection and, after two colons (::), the port and then press Connect.
