I've installed Proxmox on one of our server in office, and it's VNC functions properly while I was accessing it from local network, but now when I want to connect to a vm via VNC it pops up a page that says "Status: connected to server." and that's it, nothing shows from vm to control it,
Do you think our low speed connection to server may cause this issue?
or any other suggestion for the cause of this issue?

Hi,
perhaps a firewall-issue? You need access to port 5900 to use the vnc-console.
For my work the console-access well from home with only a small dsl-connection over a openvpn-tunnel.

Just to be clear, are you trying to use the Proxmox web VNC or connect directly to the KVM VNC console? I think Proxmox uses a unix: socket instead of TCP for linking the web VNC to the VM.

This is right, I want to use web interface of Proxmox to use it's VNC functionality and control my Windows vm from home,
So do you think opening port number 5900 on firewall won't fix this issue?

VNC uses ports 5900-6000
