Ask HN: TeamViewer alternative?

[pvinis]

Hello. I just saw that TeamViewer 11 doesn't have a free license any more. Like LogMeIn, they stopped it. I just tried AnyDesk and it was kind of ok. Any other free alternatives? Mostly I need unattended support. I have to be able to connect to a few computers that are turned on but no one is there to accept the connection.

I am assuming you mean on Windows, because ssh works pretty much everywhere else(and then xwindow forwarding or whatever you want riding on top.)

If you dont need the other user logged in, have you tried RDP? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17463/windows-7-con...

I have (in the distant past) paired this with a little dynamic dns script (so they had a hostname) and some firewall rules to make sure RDP wasnt available to the general internet.

This has quite a few limitations but if you are looking for free, it does work.
