If you’re looking for quick and free solution for remote desktop software, no need to look any farther. I recently came across a free service from LogMeIn. In the past when using VNC, I had to map it to port 80, 21, or any other highly used port that my work couldn’t block. I always hated the idea that my PC sat there with an open port such as port 80.
Here is where LogMeIn is different than your traditional remote desktop software suites. It utilizes 256-bit SSL encryption thus removing the need to firewall changes (assuming you have a standard, non-strict firewall). You then simply go to the website and log in. It will list your computer(s) that are available to be connected to.
It works with both Vista (though not advertised to, I’ve been using it for awhile with no issues) and XP and best of all it’s FREE.
