I'm trying to configure VNC server on my Ubuntu 19.04 desktop so that I can connect to it through my windows laptop over home wifi. I followed steps mentioned
My firewall is inactive and I am unable to connect from my laptop. I tried to connect from local vnc viewer using 127.0.0.1:5902 and it connects.
But if I give local-lan-ip:5902 I see the error "unable to connect to socket:connection refused"
I'm really not a pro at configuring stuff on linux, can someone help me figure out the issue ?

I found the solution here. VNC was bound to local host and I had to bind it to lan interface
I ran vncserver -localhost no and it worked.
