Easy Remote Access?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-those-of-us-that-tech-support dept.

TinyApps asks: "How do Slashdot readers make remote connections through firewalls and NAT routers when assisting friends/family/customers? Reverse VNC connection are relatively easy to setup, but there is also the free LogMeIn and WebEx's new free service that startstarted, this week. Do you all have any other ideas?"

    I use VNC. I do not trust those companies that offer the service of allowing you to log into your own pc remotely, using a password that is stored in their database. But hey, I'm paranoid in that I don't like big corporations having a way to get into my pc.
