Jon:
Heya. It's a bit early to suggest this, but you may
want to give Kaboodle a try. It comes with a "personal VPN"
service called GetEngaged. My intent here was to create a
point-to-point secure connection tool that was easy enough
for my Mom to use (she also has heart attacks over everything
regarding computers). I'd be interested in finding out if
it was built well enough for you and your friend.
Kaboodle (www.Kaboodle.org) is only version 0.80 now.
So while the VPN initiation part works, the VNC tunneling
over that connection *doesn't* work yet -- that's what 1.0
will be all about. Still, it has a VPN partner discovery
process that's designed to work with dynamic IP addresses.
If you can help evaluate it, I'd very much appreciate
it. It's hard sometimes to build an interface that works for a
category of users that the writer isn't actually in. :} Anyhow,
thanks in advance!
