[clue-tech] VPN over Internet

[Brian Gibson]

Sounds like what you need is the Linux equivalent of Windows Remote Desktop Assistant.  The person in need of assistance sends a Windows Messenger IM to the technical guru with a link to initiate a remote desktop session.  Works very well with XP and above and gets past NATs on both ends.  It probably gets past the firewall because the connections originate from inside each network rather than the outside.  I don't know of anything like that for Linux.... yet anyway.

I gave a friend my old laptop with Linux on it.  She doesn't know Linux,
but is willing to learn.  I want to be able to access her GUI to do some
support, if necessary, or show her how to do something.

She shares the WAP with a neighbor.  I don't know if the neighbor will
let me set up NAT.
