@nitrogen dream: reading here: https://sourceforge.net/p/tigervnc/code/HEAD/tree/rfbproto/rfbproto.rst#vnc-authentication, with type 2 the only thing that is encrypted is the VNC password, which is, honestly, my least worry. All the keystrokes in the session (including your bank password) is then sent unencrypted on the local wire.

Will check SSVNC; but this is similar to what I am doing now, having a ssh tunnel in the middle.

But again, the problem is in vino, which is offering as encrypted transport one that nobody uses --- and that force you to go thru hoops to have an almost safe connection.
