Setting up a local connection

You can use VNC Viewer to control a computer connected to the same Wi-Fi-enabled local network as your device, for example a LAN or VPN. This is typically useful at home or in a small office environment.

Before you can establish a local connection to a particular computer, you must:

  1. Set up the computer.
  2. Discover its private network address.

You must perform these operations before you can establish a connection for the first time.
