Best Remote Desktop Service? - GoFuckYourself.com

MrBottomTooth · 01-21-2014, 07:13 AM

Been using logmein free, but now they are ditching their free version and going paid only, which is OK, but they charge $449 a year for up to 10 computers. Is there any other alternatives that offer similar service at a better price? $37 a month seems a bit steep. Maybe there is a similar service that doesn't have the 10 computer limit?

What are you using?

What you need is a VNC client, there are a lot of free ones. If you're connecting to a Windows machine try a Remote Desktop (RDP) client, this is actually a better protocol as it does not stream screenshots but actually rebuilds the Windows interface locally so to speak, less lag.

Teamviewer appears to be free for personal use with unlimited computers. Anyone use it before?

I was under the impression rdp only works with certain versions of windows. Most of the machines I have are running win7 home premium, which wont work from what I have read.
