SConnection: Client needs protocol version 3.8

Marian,

The log file clearly states that the viewer *is* able to connect, and that
it is the viewer that is then closing the connection - this is most probably
because your VNC Server is configured to use encryption and/or Unix
authentication, while you are trying to connect to it using VNC Viewer Free
Edition - your viewer will have been failing with "No matching security
types" as the error.

Regards,

Any ideas?
