Known Issues
Here are the known issues with the latest release of EchoVNC (version 1.33):
1. Web Proxies
The echoWare DLL used by EchoVNC does not currently work with HTTP or
SOCKS proxies. We'll be adding the capability in the 1.6 release of the DLL.
2. AllowLoopback
If you have one of the older "version 3" flavors of VNC installed, you may need
to add the "AllowLoopback" setting to your VNC Server in order for EchoVNC
to work with it. EchoVNC's Startup Wizard will automatically make this
adjustment, but are two ways to enable this setting manually as well:
- Manually add a registry entry "AllowLoopback" with DWORD value=1 to
registry location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\
as described here.
- Use the Properties menu of your VNC Service, and enable loopback
connections in the provided GUI. The example below is from TightVNC 1.3dev4.
