You forgot a good one though: Proxy networks. Their <a href="www.proxynetworks.com/" rel="nofollow">remote access pc software</a> is for those with enterprise-level needs. This doesn’t have to be a business (like mine that couldn’t live without it) or it could be a private individual that has enough on his computer to worry about security. This has the best security out there – and for someone like me that travels a lot, this is a life saver. I know that I would be fired very quickly if I got my computer hacked just because I forgot my USB in the office. That’s why I don’t take chances. Internet Cafes are nice, but if you’re going to use one, make sure you’re protected.</p> Great post. You forgot a good one though: Proxy networks.

1) A ‘Host’ website is not needed, (actually that’s not completely true as the DNSAlias website must be up, if it’s not then I have my client manually entire my IP address).

2) This works with my Dynamic IP addressing (using DNSAlias).

3) The first time, my client goes to my website and clicks a link to download a small file (173kb) to their desktop.

4) From then on they only have to click on that file and I can access there desltop, transfer files, reboot their computer, etc.

We both have complete control – i.e., if the program isn’t running then there is no posssibility of access.

When I need access to another computer 24/7, I use another LogMeIn program called Hamachi – this sets up a VPN between the 2 computers, I then run UltraVNC over this secure VPN whenever I need access.

As always with computers, there are many ways to accomplish the same thing!
