Replace RDP with VNC for remote connections

[itoss]

Hello,

at first, searching after VNC using the forums search functions does not work - no results for VNC - Google search "forums.virtualbox.org VNC" makes it.

I want to replace the RDP protocol with the VNC protocol. So far so good. I searched the last 8 houers for a solution and now i have more questions than answers.

- Do i have to compile the virtualbox package from sourcecode ?
- Can i copy the VNC Module from the soucecode package into the hostsystem ( https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1 ... art-0.html => copy into system shopuld work ? ) ?
- When VNC is used for RDP connections, is it possible to setup varios VNC sessions running at one VNC server for each virtual_machine like rdp does
- Does the VNC server running on a virtualbox host support SSH tunneling ?
- If VNC requires one of the above points - can RDP translated to VNC tunneling througt SSH ?
- Is it possible to map ssh connection to the host to VNC guest sessions ?
- Is this Information still right ( have to compile VBOx from sources => viewtopic.php?f=10&t=49033 ) ?
- Do i have to build the extentionpack with VNC support only ( viewtopic.php?f=10&t=49033 ) ?

I read following informations :

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09. ... erextpacks => "It is possible to install both the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack and VNC, " looks like i just have to compile an extentionpack with VNC support - Does anyone have build scripts or compiled extentionpacks ?

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=89038 => Howto Link refers to complete VBox build - build Extentionpack or entire VBOX package - its very confusing

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=85886 => "Usually this is only used from a distro or user self compiled versions of VirtualBox" Same question, which package have to be compiled ?

I am using oracles virtualbox repository and not debian 10 repos

VirtualBox doesn't have any official support for VNC. The unofficial support comes I believe as an extension pack mainly contributed by third parties and mainly used by the Ubuntu fork.

The Ubuntu fork is not supported here btw.
