Best way to have remote access to home computer - VNC and DynDNS?? VPN?

i use SSH to tunnel a VNC connection to my mac mini server at home.

I also have logmein set up on the server just in case i need to fix something quickly or dont have access to a machine with ssh already installed.

when im away and using my personal macs i use sharetool. this is the best set up for me but it requires me to be using a mac with a sharetool license which is not always the case. plus sharetool acts as a VPN server so you get access to everything else on your home network.


the SSH/VNC or the logmein solution is independent of the OS im using so they are more versatile.


Some corporate firewalls/proxies may not allow you to connect to external SSH servers or allow access to the logmein website. This may or may not be the case with your new company so make sure you find out what is possible before relying on a solution.

 

I would say LogMeIn. It's dead simple to use and free! Zero config required. Sign in and go!

I like it so much I bought LogMeIn Ignition for my iPad/iPhone.

And why don't you use Dropbox to get at files?

Try drop box its free (2gb) and kind of secure.

 

I use TeamViewer, which works with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Ubuntu, iPhone, iPad, etc. It's very simple to set up and use, and very secure.
