How do you connect to it from your side, RDP? Is it peer-to-peer or it goes via some 3rd party server? Do you setup a tunnel on your end?

  > How do you connect to it from your side, RDP? I don't. I start the UltraVNC viewer in listen mode and the remote computer connects to mine when my dad clicks the desktop short-cut. That was one of the features I wanted. I can't connect to his computer (and spy) even if I wanted to. I like ensuring that level of autonomy as a minimum. > Is it peer-to-peer or it goes via some 3rd party server? It is peer-to-peer. > Do you setup a tunnel on your end? No tunnel (in the VPN sense). The VNC software uses encryption itself. I had to setup a port forward on my modem to my PC. I also needed a host name that points to the public IP address of my home internet connection for the software on my Dad's end to use for the destination when it tries to connect to me. (So, dynamic DNS or some such.) All of that setup is for my own equipment though. My dad has swapped internet providers and/or modems a couple of times and no re-configuration of equipment was needed when this happened.
