Please consider making the network bindings of the VNC service configurable, so that one can prevent it from being exposed in potentially untrusted networks. Maybe this could be realized by a checkable list of the current networks/IP addresses (including localhost, for instance if one wants to employ some tunneling technology for making the service externally accessible).

Thanks in advance! ;-)

IIRC, the server binds to 0.0.0.0 per default, so you should already have a binding to localhost.

Sorry, you are right! Localhost just did not show up in the list of network bindings after starting the VNC server, but connecting with a vnc client to localhost actually works! ;-)

What if I want it fo bind to localhost only?
I don't like to have a vnc server exposed to the internet (when using cellular data).

Hi, just putting my two pence in, it would be great if I could bind to a VPN IP like Tailscale and not expose to any old LAN my device connects to.
