Speaking of TeamViewer, do you know a good open source alternative that I can self host (I mean self host the relay server for NAT traversal). That is as easy to use? Works on windows, mac and linux? It should also be installable in a few slick with no network configuration required.

I haven't tried this, but I imagine a situation where computer A uses SSH to connect to VPS B and computer C connect to VPS B using SSH. If both SSH connections port-forward a VNC port, you can use VNC.

#23So I use TV for occasional family support.
Were machines vulnerable with only Teamviewer:
1. Installed but not being used? 2. Only when being used (i.e. ask family member to fire it up and give the connection info)

I've been looking at a combination of SoftEther (for dynamic IPs) and Guacamole to replace TeamViewer, ConnectWise, etc.

This is what I use. In Unix it just works (TM). If you have an ssh client in windows, it also works with Remote Desktop via ssh port forwarding. In lieu of a (configured) ssh client on Windows, you can send the other person a self-contained Go program to do the job.

How would software that isn't running be vulnerable to random connection attempts?

Yes technically it could work, but I cannot ask the users to use SSH and configure VNC. The force of team viewer is that you download it, open it, and give number over the phone and it works.

Anybody know of a UDP-based alternative? VNC is TCP.

Not OSS but remotedesktop.google.com works well.
