I've received a lot of comments from folks regarding the problem I
mentioned. I'm inclined to try the more secure version of realvnc but I
would still like to "test" it. See how it works from home, etc.
1. Is the free version any indicator of how well the other versions
work?
2. What is the downside to having 4 servers in our office so that each
user can access her/his personal computer from home? Can you suggest an
alternate configuration? (We do not use roaming desktops in our office.)
3. Which version do you recommend for this type of configuration?
4. How much would it be for a license for 6-10 users?
5. How can I test the version I would likely purchase?
Thanks.

Greg,
You'll need to create an exception in Windows Firewall for the VNC Server
executable, so that it can accept connections through it.
Note that we do not recommend use of VNC Free Edition over untrusted
networks. VNC Personal & Enterprise Editions provide have in-built session
security, making them secure for use over the Internet (and can also
configure Windows Firewall for you automatically if you wish!). You could
alternatively set up separate secure tunnel software to run VNC Free Edition
over, too.
Cheers,
