Hi all, As the techie in my extended family I end up fielding a lot of support calls from different family members. I was thinking it'd be nice to be able to remotely access their machines from home if the need arises and in general VNC would be perfect for this. My only concern is poking holes necessary to enable this since it would involve dealing with different routers & firewalls, DHCP, etc. I was thinking that a service similar to gotomypc.comwould make more sense. Both they and I would connect to a proxy server of some sort that would establish the vnc connection from my machine to their machine. I have a linux box with a static IP that I can set up as a proxy but I'm not familiar with any tools to do what I envision. Are there any tools available like this? Some sort of app that I can install on a linux server that one person could log in as a "server" and one as a "client" to establish a vnc connection between the two?
I know how to set up NAT routes, dynamic hostnames, etc. but I really don't want to go that way. I'm specifically interested in whether or not such an application as I described exists. -Bruce _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
