I have some customers doing that via Team Viewer, that seems to be the method of choice that the grain drier and feed mill companies set them up with. Not sure if that’s because it works the best, or is just the easiest for them to monetize (I’m assuming there’s a charge for the service, perhaps not). From what the farmers say, it works.
Some grain drier controls companies have their own servers that VPN to the drier and then let the farmer remote in. For example: http://mathewscompany.com/products/controlsmonitoring/m-c-trax/ We hooked up one of these to a new drier recently but the farmer hasn’t fired it up yet.
