In the near future I would most likely purchase the Personal or
Enterprise editions of this program but for educational purposes I would
still love to use open software since I discourage the misuse of
licensed software. I have been looking for other open source programs,
such as SSH, Tunneling ect... that can be used in conjunction with the
fee edition of VNC or other editions for that matter. What are your
opinions? What would offer the best protection? What would sound the
most secure to clients wanting to work from home securely?
