Cybele Software, Inc. releases the new ThinVNC Access Point, providing remote users an HTML5 Remote Desktop access point to any PC via a secure HTTPS/Websockets connection
For Immediate Release
WILMINGTON, DE, May 31, 2011—Cybele Software, Inc. announces the release of ThinVNC Access Point, a leading edge software tool that provides a single entry point for Remote Desktop access to any PC in the corporate LAN using a secure, firewall-friendly connection.
With ThinVNC Access Point, users gain an expanded range of telecommunicating and remote communication options. The HTML5-to-RDP Gateway allows users with an Internet connection and an HTML5 Web Browser to access business computers through an intuitive Web user interface. ThinVNC Access Point elevates business communication to a whole new level by allowing users to share their full Windows Desktop, or a single application in it, while using their preferred tablet, laptop, or computer.
ThinVNC Access Point ensures that IT personnel retain control of security and access. After completing a credentialed log in, system administrators designate PC(s) in the LAN/WAN as accessible on a user-by-user basis. Users select the computer to access through a secure HTTPS address.
ThinVNC Access Point comes with a Remote Installation Tool that allows IT personnel easily complete installation. After installation, IT personnel can access the PC at all times through a Wake-on-LAN link. This feature streamlines routine maintenance tasks and ensures that emergency situations can be handled in an efficient and timely manner.
ThinVNC Access Point Highlights
ThinVNC Remote Access Server enables an HTML5 Remote Desktop access point to any PC within the corporate LAN/WAN, administering and redirecting ThinVNC’s HTTPS/WebSockets traffic. With the ability to define users and PCs, ThinVNC Remote Access Server is the perfect tool for secure telecommuting, remote support and administration.
Cybele Software, Inc. announces a final release of ThinVNC Remote Access Server, a tool that provides an access point for remote screen sessions. ThinVNC Remote Access Server, redirects ThinVNC’s HTTPS/Websockets traffic enabling secure access to any PC on the LAN through just one public IP address, using native, firewall-friendly protocols and ports.
ThinVNC Remote Access Server offers an easy-to-use web interface targeted to both administrators and end-users. After sign in with their credentials, administrators can manage end-users and assign PCs they can get access to. As a result, end-users are presented with a list of their authorized PCs, making them accessible with a click.
ThinVNC Remote Access Server requires a copy of ThinVNC running on each remote PC. To ease the installation task, ThinVNC Remote Access Server provides a Remote Install tool, enabling on-demand remote ThinVNC installation.
What if the target PC is turned off? ThinVNC Remote Access Server solves this very common obstacle for remote access. When the PC is off, end-users can remotely turn it on with a single click, sending a Wake-On-LAN packet over the network. This option makes it unnecessary to leave PCs permanently on, thus saving energy and helping to keep data privacy while the user is not sitting at desk.
ThinVNC Remote Access Server Highlights:
- Secure (SSL), Firewall-friendly Remote Desktop Access Point
- Web User Interface
- Users/PCs Administration
- Windows Logon Support
- Remote Install Tool
- Wake-On-Lan (WOL)
ThinVNC Remote Access Server can be installed on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win 7/Windows Server 2008. On the client side, both tools are compatible with any Operating System and any HTML5-compliant Web Browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.

We would like to know about your current needs and what features you consider a must for a mobile OS Terminal Emulator. You can send us your comments and suggestions and we’d be happy to evaluate any special need or request you may have.
Web RDP client reaching its final release
Our new Web RDP client it is now getting close to its official release. We are thrilled about the amazing performance it is showing due to the full WebSockets implementation and Video Driver support, among other improvements. We are also planning full Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer compatibility and many other enhacements. Stay tunned!
ThinVNC newest beta build is now available on the product site. With this build, added to its pure HTML5 web browser client, ThinVNC brings a brand new native MS Windows client with Seamless Windows support. Now, you can access a remote computer and work with remote and local applications seamlessly integrated on the same local desktop.
The new ThinVNC Windows Client connects to ThinVNC server using the WebSockets protocol, enabling native HTTP(S) firewall-friendly connections without the typical overhead of an HTTP encapsulation. A new WebSockets-enabled HTTP(S) Server is now in place to allow parallel WebSockets and AJAX long-poll implementation.
Additionally, ThinVNC gateway functionality has been enhanced to proxy other ThinVNC servers using WebSockets protocol, easing the external access to intranet PCs using pure HTTP and SSL3/TLS1.
On its pure-web remote access mode, this new build brings full clipboard support and several fixes. A WebSockets native browser client is under development and expected to be released soon.
What’s new?
· New WebSockets-enabled HTTP(S) Server.
· New Windows Client with WebSockets and Seamless Windows support
· HTML5 browser client clipboard support
· Fixed scale issues on Firefox
· Optimized Google Chrome Frame installation for IE
· Solved drawing delay when switching tabs during a presentation
· Fixed other miscellaneous errors

The practice of remote access can result in exposure to multiple security threats if approached superficially. Inaccurate information about the many factors involved in the process of two computers communicating can be misleading. And ignoring the exact functioning of your software can result in unwanted security issues.
Remote access software that performs a direct connection between the supporter and the client forces either of them to acts as a host and to consequently be subject to unnecessary exposure.
Let’s analyze the facts: every time an application performs a communication between two computers, it will necessarily involve two TCP Ports. One of the ends opens an incoming TCP port to act as a host to which the other PC will connect. While an outgoing connection poses no significant threat, an open incoming TCP port translates into an instant weakness. An open port in your computer is like an unlocked window or door in your home.
Risks derivable from an open TCP port include enabling access for malicious software to act as a service and communicate with a remote attacker. Also port scanning software is used to find open or unfiltered ports. Attackers can then exploit potential vulnerabilities in any services they find.
SupportSmith IT Support works by connecting both ends of the communication through outgoing connections to a server machine, which handles the communication between both. This way neither users nor technicians need compromising their security. And because it’s deployed in the company’s own secure infrastructure, it doesn’t need to rely on third party security policies.
The structure of SupportSmith IT Support not only renders the preoccupation about the hazards of TCP connections anachronistic, but also employs SSH/2 and 128-bit encryption. In this way it attends to the communications scenario ensuring maximum commitment with each phase of the process.
