VNC 'resize remote session to local window' on Debian (Xtightvnc)

I currently trying to migrate from Centos7 to Debian10, but I'm blocked by a different default VNC behaviour. I'm using TigerVncViewer on my Windows and osx clients to connect to my server, and it has a feature called '**resize remote session to local window**'. This means that when the TigerVncViewer appliaction window is resized on the client, the remote screen on the vncserver is resized automatically to the same shape/resolution. This works beautifully out of the box for Centos 7. However, when I connect to a remote Debian 10 server the session remains a fixed size, reshaping the local TigerVncViewer window does not change it. I noticed that Centos7 uses Xnvc under the hood, while Debian10 runs a process called Xtightvnc, perhaps that is why? Does anyone know how to get this VNC auto-resizing feature to work on Debian10, do I need to change some config, or pass a some different args to Xtightvnc when it is started up via the vncserver wrapper? On some of the forums that I searched, people suggest that tightvnc does supports this feature, but it's just not obvious how to enable it. If anyone is interested, I followed these instructions for to set-up [a VNC server on Centos7](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-centos-7/) and these instructions [for Debian10](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-debian-10)
