![]() ![]() I think the major security advantage is that TeamViewer uses DynGate which is a kind of firewall, it tunnels your connection through HTTP (or secure HTTP), and it doesn't require ports to be opened on the firewall, so for both points, if your system is secure, TeamViewer is a better solution. etc.Īlso TeamViewer is designed ontop of VNC project, both are open source softwares which can be a major factor from security perspective, (remember the not so long found hidden 20 years old vulnerability in bash, also ~5 years in Windows, OpenSSL, etc.). ![]() TeamViewer also keeps live track of the files transferring between devices (by live I mean a pop-up window will be shown with details about files), but when it comes to VNC then you have to go through some logs (if logging is enabled) to find any suspicious activity (Good luck!).įrom TeamViewer support site ( TeamViewer manual), if you read from page 21 to 23 you can have a better idea of the security file transfer implementation, logging of file transfer operations. In the other hand, VNC is designed to connect locally or remotely (which means it can be more dangerous when used locally). TeamViewer is designed to put some transparency between clients connecting with each other (no local direct connection is established), plus it's well maintained from their team, taking in hand the safety approach as a big factor I can say. Suggestion: I suggest you booting up from a live Linux distro USB, unmount all HDD partitions, make sure you are NOT root then connect to the other machine, this is the safest way that can defeat most of malwares. ![]() ![]() There is a major difference between using VNC and using TeamViewer in this scenario, I will try to list some of them and I hope someone can edit and add other points that I'll probably forget to mention, but for those who only want the conclusion: Using TeamViewer is safer, but not too safe. ![]()
