Dear José Ignacio,

thank you for your quick reply!

I suggest to:

2: put a message at the VNC tab that this is not yet supported (at least 
I was confused, someone else also thought it is 'broken')

3: 'CIDR': maybe add a tooltip or a link to the documentation; or again 
an info icon with a tooltip saying that normally the default value is 
fine? I just know I was not sure what to select there.

yes I use Filezilla for file transfer, which in turn uses putty. I just 
know it took me a while to find out, so it would be useful to have a 
link to some documentation


Thanks for taking care of this, I hope this will increase the user 
experience :)


Best regards,
   Marcel
