VNC and VPN - Page 2

Yup, if you're happy with that.

You could also use a service like dyndns.org to assign a name to the IP address (most routers these days support it, and those that don't can be worked around using software).

Like I said, I wouldn't personally, but then I'm paranoid about security.

That's pretty much it Matt

I've found that my IP doesn't change, even though it's dynamic and not static, the only time it has was when I used a different router for a bit, but when I went back to the old router it changed back to what it was before

Which VNC software do you use Dym? I use Real VNC, not sure if that has a non installable version?

OR you can use port 58?? in a web browser to use the VNC servers java browser access. No need to install anything to view, just access from anywhere in the world

Yup, use realVNC as well, can mail you the standalone .exe if you can't find it

Dont forget of course, the gateway needs to allow these connections. Access to anything which isn't on the standard web ports (80, 443, 21 etc) could be dropped.

Desmo · 15-06-2007, 13:15

Aye, you'll need to set up port forwarding on the router.

Daz · 15-06-2007, 13:19

I meant the gateway his end

Non standard port traffic will likely be dropped, and if they wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult to spot non HTTP traffic on HTTP ports. Depends on what degree of lock down the local gateway is in.

Hmmmm

Despite our IT department being muppets I can't seem to find any open ports
