I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspberry OS 64 bit and have installed x11vnc on it for remote access. I am using Remmina on the client side on my laptop running Debian 11. To make sure x11vnc is running after reboot or shutdown I have created a .desktop object in /etc/xdg/autostart/whatever.desktop on the Pi which in turn is set to execute a shell script which just runs "x11vnc" to start x11vnc. This works as intended. I can shutdown or reboot the Pi and I connect via Remmina just fine, however if connect to the Pi, then close the session in Remmina and then try to reconnect I always get "Unable to connect to VNC server". Seems strange that it works initially, and always the second time I try to connect I get unable to connect. Any inputs? Anyone?

Running x11vnc -reopen -forever on the server fixed it for me.
That way you can reconnect as many times as you want.
