VNC traffic is not particularly well secured, thus the vnc server restricts connection to come from localhost only.
To connect to the VNC server, establish an ssh tunnel to the Kali-Pi and then open a VNC connection to the local port on your computer.To enable vnc connections from the network add the following line to /etc/vnc.conf:
$localhost = "no";
I would configure this option only temporarily for testing purposes and use ssh tunneling as described below in a live environment. -

Windows:
It’s just as easy from a Windows PC using PuTTY to kali-pi with ip address 192.168.137.211:
– New Connection: 192.168.137.211:22
– Save as Kali-Pi
– Goto Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels
Configure:
– Tick “Local ports accept connection from other hosts:
– Source port: 5901
– Destination: localhost:5901
– Click “Add”
– Go back to “Session” And save session “Kali-Pi” again
– Click “Connect”
– Enter ssh credintials
– Accept Firewall Rule pop up message
– Open TigerVNC Viewer and connect to 127.0.0.1:1
– Enter password
Voila:

Android:
I recommend to use ConnectBot for the ssh tunnel and AndroidVNC as VNC client.
In ConnectBot:
– Connect to the Kali-Pi
– Click the “Back” arrow and long press the connection for context menu
– Select “Edit port forwards”
– Add new port forward:
+ Nickname: VNC
+ Type: Local
+ Source Port: 5901
+ Destination: 127.0.0.1:5901In androidVNC:
– Create new connection:
+ Nickname: Kali-Pi
+ Password:
+ Address: 127.0.0.1
+ Port: 5901
+ Color Format: 256 colors (1bpp)
– Connect
+ Scaling mode: Zoomable
Input mode: “Touch and Mouse Pan and Zoom” to enlarge the desktop
Input mode: “Mouse Pointer Control Mode” to control the remote mouse
