Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2009-04-01 12:36:45 CEST
Our "unencrypted" mode means that we let the VNC traffic go outside the SSH tunnel, directly to the server. This feature should be removed as it is rather unintuitive (it breaks the principle of using just port 22 and the GUI suggests that we just tell SSH to not encrypt the data), it's insecure (of course) and I doubt anyone actually uses it.

The only reason to keep it around is for performance, but SSH is not that much of a bottle neck in most cases.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-08-20 13:34:55 CEST
Fixed in r29276 and r29277.

Tester should check that there is nothing left in the code or documentation for the unencrypted mode.

Still in the usage message:

tlclient_tlclient.cc:                 "                                  - sshcrypt: ssh encryption\n"
