BlueWyvern Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hey Guys, I am finding I have to support my remote family more so now than ever since their manufacturer warranties ran out... I looked at go to assist since they sponsor hak5 but it's a 60 dollar monthly fee or a 10 dollar daily/per use.. I have also looked at webex and thought about logmein but webex is just as expensive and logmein I think would be just a big a pain for their free service. Not to mention thier pay service "Log me In Rescue" is ridiculously overpriced... I don't need Free but I don't mind a fair price either. VNC is not currently an option because of the old firewall/router conundrum and trying to help not-so-savvy people open ports is like pulling teeth. The other thing that I absolutely need is ability to help Mac users from my PC... So all that being said anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

BlueWyvern Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 I have thought about netmeeting but I don't believe there is mac support for it. Something to look into i suppose. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netshroud Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Teamviewer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWyvern Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 CrossLoop looked pretty cool however it seems you sign up and get a random person's help and looks like it only works in windows. Teamviewer looks like it might just be what I am looking for. I will post back once I know more. Thanks to everyone that contributed! You Guys ROCK!

moonlit Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 CrossLoop looked pretty cool however it seems you sign up and get a random person's help and looks like it only works in windows. It works on OSX, it's you which does the helping, and you don't need to sign up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWyvern Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hmm I'll have to look at it again then. For the moment I have TeamViewer installed and I'm gonna give that a whirl. thanks again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oper8or Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I personally use UltraVNC SC (single click). It's in the addons section of their site. I'd post a linky, but I'm not sure how z Hak.5 team would feel about it. It's easy to build and use. Just slap it on your FTP site and send them the link. They click, click again. That is about it.

Brian Sierakowski Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Seconded (or thirded?) for logmein. While their free product skimps on features, I believe the security is the same as the pay version. You don't need rescue, you just need to preload logmein onto their machines. One longer then usual phone call, then you can get in there much faster in the future :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
