Does anyone know an inexpensive remote desktop application that can bypass firewalls?
- 5 Comment
(No Ratings Yet)I am a sys admin by trade but I get a lot of friends looking for computer support for there personal pc’s in different parts of the country. Most people nowadays have home networks with NAT routers and are unreachable most of the time using netmeeting or some of the other big ones out there without trying to have them muddle thru configuring their router. Lately I have seen software packages that will bypass firewalls since they only use HTTP or HTTPS. A lot of IT companies providing remote support are using them. Basically they drop a small .exe file on the remote pc and allow remote control of that pc. A quick look has shown me that they are quite expensive, but maybe there are cheaper or free versions out there I haven’t seen yet. Does anyone know of anything worth looking at? Thanks in advance.

REAL sys admins already know the answer, so, my wager is that you are a windoze wannabe hacker…
Windows doesn’t do network very well, and all the tools are BSD or ‘Nix anyway…

You could use Hamachi VPN. It is free and secure. The only problem is that you will have to walk you friends through allowing either their hardware or software firewall to allow the VPN. I don’t know of any program that will bypass a hardware firewall. I know you can do it manually but that means hacking.
