+The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer, SSVNC, adds encryption security to VNC
+connections.
+
+The package provides a GUI for Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix that
+automatically starts up an STUNNEL SSL tunnel for SSL or ssh/plink for
+SSH connections to any VNC server, such as x11vnc, and then launches the
+VNC Viewer to use the encrypted tunnel.
+
+The x11vnc server has built-in SSL support, however SSVNC can make SSL
+encrypted VNC connections to any VNC Server if they are running an SSL
+tunnel, such as STUNNEL or socat, at their end. SSVNC's SSH tunnel will
+work to any VNC Server host running sshd that you can log into.
+
+The SSVNC Unix vncviewer can also be run without the SSVNC encryption
+GUI as an enhanced replacement for the xvncviewer, xtightvncviewer,
+etc., viewers.
+
+In addition to normal SSL, SSVNC also supports the VeNCrypt SSL/TLS and
+Vino/ANONTLS encryption extensions to VNC on Unix, Mac OS X, and
+Windows. Via the provided SSVNC VeNCrypt bridge, VeNCrypt and ANONTLS
+encryption also works with any third party VNC Viewer (e.g. RealVNC,
+TightVNC, UltraVNC, etc...) you select via 'Change VNC Viewer'.
+
+There is a simplified SSH-Only mode (sshvnc). And an even more
+simplified Terminal-Services mode (tsvnc) for use with x11vnc on the
+remote side.
+
+Note:
+Use "su -" instead of regular "su" to build this package
