I have a situation where a user has a computer that they only have a private IP address for (ISP assigned). My computer is at work and also has a private IP address.
Using TeamViewer, I can access the remote computer's desktop.
My question is: is there an open source program that can accomplish the same thing? I suspect that TeamViewer works because it has a server that can be contacted and, I assume, set up a tunnel or whatever it does. I don't have such a server with a public IP address.
This is something that I only do occasionally. So I don't want to buy a bunch of TeamViewer licenses if I do not need to.
Any ideas?
Maybe... wild idea. Get an IPv6 address (via tunnel broker? is that the name?), which is public, and access that one instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
