Free Remote access software

The oldes free remote acccess software on the internet is VNC, but VNC sometimes can be very hard to configure and if you are under a router or some fancy firewall VNC can be realy hard to configure.

Another alternative I found free on internet is Team Viewer where you can connect on a friend computer widthout to even know his IP adress.

Team viewer it give you automaticaly an ID and a password witch if you give them to a friend he can connect to your computer. Each time you open Team Viewer ID remain the same but password changes so nobody can connect to your computer if you dont want it.

A great feature is Team Viewer can be used from installer package or can be installed like a normal application. And can be used as:

  • Remote support
  • Presentation
  • File transfer
  • VPN
