What Remote Ripple is
Remote Ripple is a free VNC viewer for accessing and controlling remote computers from Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It connects directly to a remote computer, which must run VNC server software; the maker says it works with any VNC-based software and recommends TightVNC Server for Windows. Windows supports clipboard exchange, file transfer, and saving the ten most recently started remote-access sessions, removing the earliest when another exceeds that limit. File transfer requires TightVNC Server or another VNC server with the full Tight file-transfer extension. Mobile editions include MouseTool for controlling a remote PC as if seated in front of it. Passwords stay on the device and are protected through operating-system APIs rather than sent to Remote Ripple servers. An SSH tunnel encrypts traffic between the viewer and VNC server. Direct internet access may require a public IP and router port forwarding. The license allows commercial use and unlimited installations on computers or virtual machines. The FAQ notes no zoom function and no monitor-selection option for multi-monitor remote devices.
