VNCTracker keeps a list of hosts on various Internet accounts. Rather than email or phone each user whenever you need a current IP address for connecting with VNC, you visit the Web page generated by VNCTracker that shows the updated IP address for that host. It will then build .vnc files to easily start VNC sessions served via HTTP. It supports 'Request Reverse VNC Session' to help with proxies and satellite connections.

Recent releases


Changes: Many bug fixes. 'Request VNC' has been added to work with satellite and other one-way connections. This requires the remote PC to check your vnctracker server for a hostname.request file containing the IP to connect to. That initiates the reverse connection. The listening viewer (the requester) needs to have any NAT/gateway/firewall forward TCP 5500 to the listening machine.


Changes: This release adds support for Dovecot POP3/IMAP logs, which is set by default. There is some code cleanup.


Changes: Code and README cleanup. More PHP echos of simple HTML have been removed.


Changes: The default page for vnctracker was changed from showip.php to index.php. showip.css was renamed to style.css. The RSS parts were cleaned up a little. When using the RSS feed, the "Update from mail log" action happens when you check the VNCTracker feed. Clicking on a hostname will open its .vnc file. Hovering over each hostname will show host info in a "title" tooltip.


Changes: This release adds an RSS feed generator for quick access to the host list. It was developed using the Sage Firefox plugin. The option for 'Verbose' update has been removed; they're all verbose now. The option can be changed in config.php: $upoptions = "1"; 1 for verbose, and 0 for not.
