JP:
For purposes of VNC, Kaboodle can:
1. Find all of the VNC servers on your LAN, letting you "point
and click" to start VNC sessions (similar to apps like VNCon,
VNC Manager, others: faq.gotomyvnc.com/fom-serve/cache/114.html )
2. Network-install VNC Servers into PC's you want to remote
control that aren't yet running VNC (similar to FastPush).
3. Securely tunnel VNC sessions and/or connect two Kaboodle LANs
together across the Internet (Kaboodle uses Zebedee for this).
I call this a "Personal VPN" capability.
It's free and open-source. If you add KaboodleProxy
capability to it (free to try, $25 to buy) you can connect
two Kaboodle LANs together without having to adjust any router
port-forwarding settings on either side of the connection.
cheers,
Scott
