I assume your need for encryption means you are trying to access a computer
not on your LAN. You might consider using a VPN to create a secure path,
then run any VNC of your choice. The VPN will take care of the encryption
side.

Try Hamachi - http://www.hamachi.cc/

Or OpenVPN - http://openvpn.net/

Hamachi is easy, and passes right through firewalls with no configuration
required. You can access your home PC from work, without the need to open
ports on either firewall. Pretty cool stuff. The downside, is that both
machines must use the Hamachi server to start the initial connection, so if
it goes down, you can't connect.

On the open source side, OpenVPN looks interesting. Still studying it.

This is not going to work. I need a way to have encryption. Is there one
that works with both linux and windows?
