Thanks a lot guys. Teamviewer works flawlessly. Its super fast and without bugs.
The only minus for me is that you have to type a different password everytime you want to remote control your pc. That means that somebody else has to be in front of your pc and tell you the password?
No. The way I do it is: before I leave home or the office I start up Teamviewer on my desktop machine and send* a screenshot of the ID (unique, but always the same for that machine) and the randomly generated password (never the same twice) to my phone or MBP (whichever I plan on using on the road). Then I force the password-protected screensaver (cursor in top left screen corner) and leave.
When I connect later I simply type in the desktop machine's Teamviewer ID and password, get to see the screensaver on the desktop machine on my phone's or MBP's screen, and unlock that too of course. And to finish the session I force the screensaver on the desktop machine again. Then log out (or not) of Teamviewer on my phone or MBP. Later I can reconnect again if necessary.
That's it.
Of course while the session is on-going the screen on your desktop machine is on, displaying what's going on to anybody in the room.
If you're really paranoid you could activate your webcam to see, LIVE, who's looking at your desktop machine's screen.
But that too will be visible on your desktop machine's screen so that won't last longer than a few seconds before 'they' get wise and pull the plug, somehow!
Of course you don't wait for that: as soon as you've seen who it is, and made a screenshot for evidence!, you activate the password-protected screensaver immediately again to lock them out.
You're locked out of using that machine remotely too of course.
Maybe you can set up iAlertU on your desktop machine to
not sound a siren or lock the machine when it's touched, but only send you a date/time stamped picture from the webcam, so that you can see who's getting their paws on your machine.
Are there any other cross-platform viewers that dont need a password and stuff?
What is "and stuff"?
But no, I don't think there are. And you don't want it either, because that password, and the fact that it is randomly generated and never the same twice, makes the mobile connection with your desktop machine a secure, un-interceptable one. Without it you have no security. At all. Any two-bit scriptkiddie could intercept your traffic and compromise your mobile and desktop machines.
