As opposed to Crossloop, you can set up the "host" so you can connect from anywhere with a simple authorisation password.

I want to a) link to machine(s) at home. b) Use a proxy to get onto the internet because some sites (e.g. the UK lottery) are selectively blocked depending on e.g country of access. I have crossloop installed which works OK through my nat'ing router** but needs a user to authorise access (I see that crossloop uses TightVNC under the hood - perhaps I could run it directly?) ** Actually I still can't get it to work when I'm working through our corporate vpn, despite setting crossloop up to use our proxy and specifying my login + password.

I suspect you are confusing SSL (Secure Sockets Layer, an encryption technique for passing https protocols, typically on port 443) with SSH (Secure Shell, a means of establishing an ecrypted tunnel betweeen two machines, typically port 22). If you are using Putty, you are using SSH. > Does this create more problems than it is worth? > Is this seen as more secure way of using hot spot wi-fi connections? I take it you are connecting from a hotspot into your internal domain, using SSH to encrypt the traffic from your machine to your domain, and forwarding the unencrypted http traffic over that domain? That's a Best Practice, as long as you own and maintain security on the end-point, the machine you're using to attach. If you are using someone else's kiosk, that machine is insecure, period. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
