genbrien Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi I was looking for a free software that I can control my home Pc when, well, I'm not at home :music_whistling: I saw a couple on google, but was wondering if any of you had some kind of experience with that kind of program. Thx (could have been usefull to start my BS2 download while @work) Do you think that getting 9 women pregnant will get you a baby in 1 month?[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mobo: Asus P8P67 deluxe Monitor: Lg 22'' 1920*1080 CPU: i7 2600k@ 4.8Ghz +Zalman CNPS9900 max Keyboard: Logitech G15 GPU:GTX 980 Strix Mouse: Sidewinder X8 PSU: Corsair TX750w Gaming Devices: Saytek X52, TrackIr5 RAM: Mushkin 2x4gb ddr3 9-9-9-24 @1600mhz Case: 690 SSD: Intel X25m 80gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikenet Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 logmein.com simple, free and works through proxy servers, should your work have one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghanja Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I use TeamViewer (www.teamviewer.com) if my mother runs into a problem with her laptop. It's actually free for homeuse and works great ... :-) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] .:: My System ::. .:: My Paintings ::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinox Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Honestly, I do not thrust these remote-control solutions like LogMeIn or TeamViewer. What I do not like is that traffic is routed (or re-routed) through software-company's servers. So your connection is not "PC->YourServer" but rather "PC->LogMeInServer/TeamVieverServer->YourServer". You can imagine yourself what security implications such a configuration has... I prefer direct solution, like VNC (UltraVNC, TightVNC, etc). It gives you the same possibilities of remote-control without any intermediary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikenet Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Rhinox, I think you will find the actual remote session is peer to peer. Only the initial connection and interface for you client computers is done "online" with the website. I used to use VNC however it doesnt work through proxys and its just not as easy as logmein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
