From: Mitja Podreka on 28 Apr 2010 10:50 Hello. I've migrated three friends to Linux. To make their (and mine) experience more pleasant I would like to be able to remotely access their computer and if possible enable them to see what I'm doing. The problem is that they are all behind router and I cannot expect from them to start some complicate procedure to enable me to connect remotely to their computer. Googling around I couldn't find any apparent (easy) solution. I don't mind setting up and learning, just I would not like to waste my time for wrong bad. Could you please suggest me some approach or just tell me what you're using for remote help.

Configure their machines so that they can easily connect to the VPN. Once they are connected you can interact with them just as if they were on your LAN. -- Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

From: Anand Sivaram on 28 Apr 2010 11:00 You could do the following. 1. install ssh server on your friends machine. Create port forwarding in their router Login to their machine as usual using ssh. To reduce ssh brute force attack, change the ssh port from 22 to some larger number and use the corresponding port for router port forwarding. 2. Install openvpn server on your machine, client on your friends machine. access your friends machine just a like a local machine. First option is the simplest to setup, it gives only ssh access to you. Second option takes a bit more configuration, but gives you better security and ease of use after that.

It's easy to setup and tightvnc will be run over the ssh tunnel so it should be safe. They will be able to see what you do.
