Hi @lramirez

Here is our environment:

- Intel NUC64 device with touch screen
- Yocto Dunfell
- Usually runs through a 4G connection but for testing purposes we used the our office network.
- We run VNC server on the device

We also experience a lot of connection problems with mender-cli by the way: ["Bad Handshake" with mender-cli - #9 by Austriker](https://hub.mender.io/t/bad-handshake-with-mender-cli/4455/9) . The connection is better through the web UI on hosted mender but we can’t port forward.

Produce the scenario for port forwarding

- port forward the VNC port
- With your VNC client lower the quality
- Try to look an animation and see if it’s close to fluid

Regards,
