===Getting connected===

We recommend you try this out at home or in the office first:

1) Make sure the target computer (the one you want to control) and viewing device (the one you're controlling from) are connected to the same Wi-Fi-enabled local network.
2) Install this app on the viewing device.
3) Download VNC 5 to the target computer and apply a Free license, or take a 30 day trial of our premium security and performance features.
4) Connect!

When you’re ready to go out and about:

5) Make sure both target computer and viewing device are connected to the Internet (for example over 3G, or from a Wi-Fi hotspot).
6) Configure the target computer’s firewall to enable VNC.
7) Configure the target computer’s router to forward port 5900.

For more information on steps 6 and 7, see www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/documentation/latest/getting-connected/

===Security and privacy===

When you connect, you’re asked for credentials (this is to protect your target computers if you share or lose your viewing device). We’re often asked what these are:

* If you applied a Free license to VNC 5, enter the password you created when you installed it on the target computer
* If you applied a paid-for license (or took a trial), enter the username and password you normally use to *log on* to the target computer

We don’t want to hide anything from you, so please note that connections will only be secure (encrypted) if you applied a paid-for license to VNC 5 (or took a trial). Connections to a Free license are fast and responsive, but we hope you’ll understand that end-to-end encryption is a premium feature.

===How to control===

You can control the target computer as though you were sitting in front of it. There’s simply no limit to the applications you can run, data you can access, nor operations you can perform.

Note that if the keyboard of your viewing device doesn't have all the keys you need (for example, function keys, or the Cmd key if you're controlling a Mac), open the virtual keyboard from the toolbar. You can also trade performance for picture quality from the dropdown on the Information panel (click the [i] button on the toolbar).
