Azure Bastion vs. TightVNC

Azure Bastion is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) that provides secure and seamless Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Secure Shell (SSH) access to virtual machines (VMs) without exposing them to public IP addresses. By deploying Azure Bastion within your virtual network, you can connect to your VMs directly through the Azure portal or via native RDP/SSH clients, enhancing security and simplifying remote access management.

TightVNC is a free and open-source remote desktop software that enables users to access and control computers over a network. It allows interaction with a remote screen as if the user were physically present, facilitating tasks such as opening files, launching applications, and performing other desktop activities. Compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems, TightVNC is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it suitable for various hardware configurations.
