Possible to use ProxMox API to open VNC Proxy and then use 3rd party VNC client?

[sofakng]

Is it possible to use the PVE v2 API (that's the current one, right?) to open a VNC port that a 3rd party VNC client can connect to?

I'm thinking about creating an iOS application to management PVE servers and use a built-in VNC client to view the consoles, etc.

Also, is it possible to tunnel VNC through the Web UI port? (i.e. I think this is how the web ui works when using noVNC?)

yes, if the client support VNC vencryt auth.

I have no idea if that client supports vencrypt.

in theory yes (If your client use websockets (as noVNC)).
