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.
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.

#32Speaking 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.
Anybody know of a UDP-based alternative? VNC is TCP.

#34> The web application security expert adds that, based on detected activities and attack methods, in addition to the unusual interest that APT41 has shown in attacking the video game industry, its attacks could not be politically motivated; instead, they’re focused on economic gains.
I’d like to know how can one simply assume this given a potential payoff of billions of devices...

#38Anyways, this isn’t the first time TeamViewer has been hacked. Wonder what their beef is against E2EE between connected computers.

What do you mean by tracking?
check out the *.pixel.archive.is lookups
So at least this lets archive.is correlate your IP with your DNS server (which must pass EDNS Client Subnet to get any meaningful response, this is the reason why Cloudflare DNS is not that great for accessing archive.is; more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317).

Is there a reason why you need UDP specifically?
It's far smoother.
