Further research shows that what the product/service that is really being sold is DynGate. <http://support.teamviewer.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=7&nav=0>
Sounds like DynGate is a commercial version of Stunnel? <quote> TeamViewer and Dyngate - why are there two programs? TeamViewer is a remote control software that is based on the VNC project, or better, on the UltraVNC remote control solution, which is itself based on RealVNC. TeamViewer is free software and is licensed under the GPL. So TeamViewer is an open source project. You may download the complete source, modify it and use it however you like, as long as you comply with the GPL. TeamViewer enables remote connections based on a TCP/IP connection over port 5900. That means, to connect two TeamViewer clients, you connect to a partner`s PC on port 5900. In many cases this will only be possible within a local network, firewall settings often deny TCP/IP connections. Another problem are local IP addresses: Most LANs use NAT gateways to translate internal IPs to external ones - which makes it very difficult to connect to a partner within another local network. DynGate is our solution for that problem: DynGate allows to route any TCP/IP connection over a http tunnel, which means any traffic is routed like "regular" internet web site access - which allows almost anybody to connect to PCs as long as an Internet connection is available! DynGate is a completely separate software that communicates with TeamViewer just over an internal TCP/IP socket connection. In later releases DynGate will also be able to tunnel data connections for other software beside TeamViewer. </quote> Malcolm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
