snf-vncauthproxy is a fork of the original vncauthproxy
mostly used by Synnefo

It is a small gevent-based VNC proxy with man-in-the-middle authentication.

vncauthproxy listens on a UNIX domain socket for control messages and sets up one-time port forwardings upon request. As soon as a client connects, vncauthproxy fakes an RFB 3.8 server to request authentication from the client. If the client authenticates successfully, a server connection is initiated by the proxy and both connections are bridged to allow transparent client-server communications.
Main features include:

• Lightweight, coroutine-based main loop with gevent
• JSON-formatted requests and replies over the control channel
• Port pooling for automatic selection of source port
• Supports RFB protocol versions 3.3, 3.8
• IPv4 and IPv6 support
• Configurable timeout for client connections
