Connection closed unexpectedly

[James Weatherall]

Hi Carlos,

Current VNC releases do not use the UDP protocol at all, so you don't need
to set a UDP port in your router, just a TCP port.

Choose any application name you wish - this is just used by the router to
help you remember what the rule you're setting up is used for.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
