and.this.extends.equally.to.its.encryption.settings.that.are.used.to.prevent.

that.need.to.view.it,.a.number.of.settings.are.available..The.encryption.settings.
to.use.depend.upon.how.the.potential.global.users.will.operate.
Important.factors.to.consider.when.setting.these.options.might.be:

•. Do.all.global.user.connections.and.operations.require.encryption?
•. Will.some.global.users.be.using.older.VNC.viewer.versions?
