Re: Remote Desktop Connection

I would do the same again because of strong authentication, ease of installation and configuration, it supports a lot of user connections, you can run VNC or RDC through the tunnel easily, access to shard files/folders on the SSH server machine, etc, etc, etc...etc...

You might also look at OpenVPN or SSL-Explorer as alternatives. You can try a free two user version of SSL-Explorer to try it out. The nice thing about SSL-Explorer is that any user with a web browser like IE can connect and access shared files/folders on PCs on your network. So called clientless access to your network via the SSL VPN. SSL-Explorer also supports a web based RDC and VNC access to desktop PCs on your network. Note that SSL-Explorer is *NOT* free if you have more than two users. OpenVPN is completely free like SSH.

I take it your not running any type of server on your network now, ie. SBS or W2K3/W2K, etc?

UltraVNC has an encryption plug-in that you can use. Personally for home users I recommend running VNC (any flavor) or Remote Desktop (RDC) through a SSH because you can use a private/public key pair protected by a strong password versus password only authentication. You can run a SSH server on a XP or Vista desktop or if your router is supported use third-party firmware like DD-WRT which includes a built-in SSH server function.

Hello to everyone:

How secure is UVNC vs Windows Remote Desktop Connection.
Should be complemented with ssh or vpn?
