ELEPHANTING TEAMVIEWER!
-
I've been using TeamViewer for years. It WAS free, easy to use. I AM NOT RUNNING A BUSINESS. I simply use it to connect from one PC to another at home, or maybe from my Office PC to home. Starting today when I connect I get a message basically saying that it detected that I'm on a business network. It then disconnects me after about a minute and tells me to upgrade. They want $49 PER MONTH :mad::mad::mad::mad: to for the minimal subscription. No thanks. Anyone know of a decent, free, alterative?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.
VNC? Remote desktop? For what you describe... it should do the job
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I would be quite interested in what are their criteria for deciding this.

Yes, this is the reason... They decide you are on a business when you connect two ways between both computers... In any case... if you stop connecting from one side to the other one probably you'll keep it free... and if this doesn't work... see: UltraViewer - Remote control software, remote access software[^] Never used it though...

With VNC/Windows Remote Desktop, When you login from Remote, the person sitting in front of the remote machine, can still stay logged in & watch what you are doing from remote?

That shouldn't be a consideration when you're connecting from a machine in your own house to another machine in your own house.

He mentioned that he connects to his work computer. Unless his workplace has a firewall that refuses TeamViewer connections it will allow him to connect to a computer in a different network and geographical location. Takes out the need for VPN's or SSH Tunnels or the like between networks.

Recently I was spammed with read in the Devolutions newsletter about Wayk Now - Instant Remote Support and Remote Desktop[^] their competitor to TeamViewer et al. I haven't tried it yet, but I've been using their Remote Desktop Manager Free for some years now without their being too intrusive, so I will likely try Wayk Now if/when I'll need remote access to somewhere.
