Hi, I asked already but there was no answer. Have you tried rustdesk? just download the client on both machines, and connect. It works just fine and costs nothing. Karl Am 29.11.22 um 15:56 schrieb Roger Oberholtzer:
A bit of a followup:
The client now has a public address in the router. I can ping it.
Next is to figure out getting stuff from the router to then target machine. They have some docs on port forwarding in the router. I have suggested that they set that up. I think it only needs to know the destination IP address of the target machine (which currently is set by the router to some 192 address). We want all ports to be forwarded.
No idea if they are capable of doing this. But it's in progress.

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? I suppose there is no chance You'd get VPN from Your company...?
