No External IP Or Port Forwarding
Hi, I have recently been using managed services software (Kaseya) that uses a form of VNC and allows you to connect to all the remote computers it has been installed on, this is all fine but there is one thing that I can't figure out how it works Neither the client (VNC viewer) or the VNC server has an external IP address or any port forwarding set up. So I was wondering if anyone has any idea how they could do this and if there is something I can setup with realvnc to allow me to do the same sort of thing. This would mean I could just install a client on each machine and not worrying about getting any port forwarding set up which would save me so much time! If anyone has any ideas or could at least tell me how they do it in this software I would appreciate it.

Thanks Paul I've not looked at this particular service, but the standard method is to use an external proxy. Your clients servers connect with it at startup then any traffic can either be routed through the proxy, or the server client can be redirected to talk directly to each other. Since the client server are both making outgoing connections, no port forwarding is needed. You can't implement this with standard RealVNC, but there are VNC-based programs to do this (e.g. EchoVNC). I've not used any of these myself, so I can't give you any recommendations here.

Yoics, http://yoics.com, also provides this capability. Once it's setup, you can simply use a browser to access the remote machine. best Ryo On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 5:28 AM, Robin Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have recently been using managed services software (Kaseya) that uses a form of VNC and allows you to connect to all the remote computers it has been installed on, this is all fine but there is one thing that I can't figure out how it works Neither the client (VNC viewer) or the VNC server has an external IP address or any port forwarding set up.
