TightVNC: VNC-Compatible Free Remote Control / Remote Desktop Software

TightVNC is a cross-platform free and open-source remote desktop software application that uses and extends Virtual Network Computing's (VNC)s RFB protocol
to control another computer's screen remotely. It was created by
Constantin Kaplinsky. His extensions provide for 'tight encoding', which
improves performance over low bandwidth connections.^[3][4]
