The best Remote Access application

Tweet

Hi friends. It is very useful to be able to access your desktop at your office remotely from other place. In my case the advantage is using the high speed internet connection there for downloading what I need. I know I can use scheduled downloads using a download manager. But there are many other advantages in remotely seeing your desktop. Many softwares exist out there from the free windows remote desktop to the famous symantec pcanywhere and some new ones. They have almost the same features. The main problem raises when facing to the complicated maze like networks nowadays. Imagine you want to connect from a dial-up at home (behind your ISP router and firewall with a private IP) through Internet to your PC at office passing again through the router in the private network of your company while you are behind a small switch or hub inside your own office connecting 3-4 PCs. -The first old solution is configuring the router for IP forwarding. But you have no access to the router. -the second newer solution is using a middle server as provided by some softwares (e.g. anyplace-control) or services (e.g GotoMyPC). Well, good idea. But hey are not free. -the third solution is what I'm looking for and actually found something. I didn't check that yet but I think a solution like GBridge should be the answer. It uses GTalk servers and your gmail username&password to pass through the network devices securely. Also I read about VNCs(realVNC, UltraVNC, TightVNC,...) and TeamViewer and I think they may work in such cases. What do you think? Do you have any experiance or suggestion?
