In 2020, a few updates were released, with the most notable change being support for Unicode clipboard transfers (UTF-8) in November 2020. Fast screen-grabbing techniques on Windows 8 and later versions were improved, and a few minor bugs were rectified. But in September 2021, TightVNC for Windows got a security update that patched a severe security issue in the TightVNC Viewer application. This may only have niche applications, but it’s a clever way to share resources remotely with multiple remote users. You could set one remote session to have access to the left side of your desktop, and another to have access to the right side of your desktop, for instance. Going even further, TightVNC can be set to listen on multiple ports and serve a different portion of the desktop on each one.

TightVNC offers a few unique features that could make it the right choice for your remote administration needs. But less useful for cross-platform admin.
