Unassigned / VNC display :50

Unassigned by IANA; conventionally VNC display :50.

TCP IANA registry

Description

5950 is inside IANA's Unassigned 5915-5962 range. By the RFB convention it is display :50, and hosts that allocate VNC consoles per VM or per user session can reach that far. Because the number is round, it is also a common hand-picked port for a single dedicated VNC server.

Do not expose

Assume remote desktop until proven otherwise. RFB offers no transport encryption in its classic security types, so it belongs behind SSH or a VPN.
