Hi guys,
I have recently installed Kali as a VM in proxmox and configured VNC because I need indipendent browser access; however, I go in the monitor section and type "set_password vnc mypass -d vnc2", everything works until I shut down and restart the VM: I get "Authentication error" although the password is corrent, and I always need to retype "set_password vnc mypass -d vnc2" in order to access VNC.

Yes, that is "by-design".
