Remote control of iMac

[jetoo]

Hi,

I switched from a pc to a mac recently.
I had Remotely Anywhere on my pc, but I can't find a mac alternative.

I already looked into alternative like logmein, but these web site are censored in my company.
I need a software exactly like Remotely Anywhere.
Software is installed on the PC/Mac, just need to install ActiveX in the browser, and you get to remote control your PC/Mac directly from the browser and in SSL encrypted.

I also looked into Apple Remote Desktop, but this won't work, because the port that will try to use (for instance, 5900) will be blocked by firewall company.
I need a full HTTP(S) compliant software.

If any of you ever uses Remotely Anywhere, you should get the picture.

Thank in advance for your help.

I don't know if its out yet but gotomypc has a mac client in the works. You may want to look into them and I also believe pcnow has some mac stuff as well.

gotomypc and pcnow are just like logmein, you need to logon to the web site (which i can't) and you get access to your desktop.

I don't want to logon to a web site. :/

Look for logmein. It's free and reliable.

EDIT: just noticed you said you tried it already. Are you sure it's censored by your company? I've never had connection issue with logmein.

Unfortunately, it is (due to firewall restrictions, they use webwasher). That's why i was looking for a standalone software, not a web site.

How about VLC?

Also, have you looked in VPN? My school blocks access to various net ports but they don't block VPN. My router is set up as a VPN server so I can bypass all limitations. In this way, you can pretty much use any kind of remote control software I believe.

If you're looking for a standalone application then look at vnc
