ISSUE: No supported authentication methods!

Windows clients are often unable to deal with VNC encryption. Instead they will throw an: 'No supported authentication methods!' when trying to connect to the server.

In that case you can consider turning off the VNC encription (NB: your connection will no-longer be secure):

$ gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

Only do this on networks that you trust! Do not turn of encryption when connecting over a plain/insecure internet connection! In such cases a VPN or SSH tunnel should be utilised for their layer of protection!
