I've enjoyed using LMI Pro for years. VERY convenient. I'll probably still pay it, but wanted to poll the community here to see if anyone is using something else and loving that as much or better than LMI. I do NOT want to go down the VNC/UltraVNC/etc-VNC variants that aren't as user-friendly as LMI.

It's still my remote access tool of choice, Mike. LMI's major advantage, imo, is its file transfer abilities.

I phoned them up to cancel - free>#70>$98>$149 was just too much for casual use. The guy asked me if it would help if he dropped it back to $99 this year? - no, but thanks (I get by with SSH into a NAS box, which also gives me access to Windows shares and a web proxy - so I can access the router's UI, and 'be in the UK' when necessary).

Thanks for that tip. I'll call them and try the same angle...but I intend to keep them (for now). I hear you on the raising of rates, though.

I called and canceled today, trying to get them to drop the rate like your story above...no dice! Set to cancel now on 12/26. I guess it's a game of chicken now. We'll see if they reach out to "save" me as a customer prior to then; otherwise, I'll probably cave and call them back. lol
I've been using RAdmin with a client and it has been very reliable. You do need to set up port forwarding with the router.
With TeamViewer you need someone on the other end to tell you what the password is each time you connect. RAdmin allows for remote connection at any time as long as the PC is on.

I use Webex Remote Support at work since it's what the organisation uses but it's fairly crap. Connected to the desktop of a Windows 7 or later machine that is set to dim the desktop on UAC prompts? Be prepared to be unable to see or click anything until a human at the other end clicks 'OK' for you. Every other remote control solution can handle this.
Last time I checked Splashtop's file transfer it had improved but still had issues. The main one I recall is that it didn't list all the files in a folder. I didn't figure out the threshold but it simply went through the letter H or something like that.

You can set teamviewer up to auto answer. You can also set it up so every machine shows up in a pick list. And the best part is there is no messing with port forwarding.

I've been using RAdmin with a client and it has been very reliable. You do need to set up port forwarding with the router.
With TeamViewer you need someone on the other end to tell you what the password is each time you connect. RAdmin allows for remote connection at any time as long as the PC is on.

I've enjoyed using LMI Pro for years. VERY convenient. I'll probably still pay it, but wanted to poll the community here to see if anyone is using something else and loving that as much or better than LMI. I do NOT want to go down the VNC/UltraVNC/etc-VNC variants that aren't as user-friendly as LMI.

Hi, for some years I have been running a browser (Firefox) through a SSH tunnel (Putty on Windows). I recently had reason to believe that my incoming email might be being blocked because of spam blacklisting of the block of IPs my ISP was using (dynamic IP addr). I therefore set up Thunderbird to use a proxy in the same way as FireFox: Putty SSH connection with a Dynamic tunnel on port 'nmnm' - and Firefox/Thunderbird set to use a 127.0.0.1:nmnm SOCKSv5 proxy (no other proxy settings, and no change to email accounts)
This seemed to work OK (well it certainly works for the browser - confirmed by whatismyip and icanhazip.com) - then I Googled for 'Thunderbird proxy' and most of the posts suggested changing email account servers to 127.0.0.1:993 [imap] + 127.0.0.1:465 [smtp] with ports 993/465 individually forwarded in Putty. I think my method is much neater - if it works - So: # how can I check if my method works for email? # how would you do it?

These are two different solutions, with different security implications.
1. When you are using an ssh tunnel, you have created an encrypted tunnel between your machine and some other endpoint. I'm guessing you host a server somewhere on an hosting provider that runs an email server and serves as the endpoint for your browsing. This tunnel bypasses your local internet service provider and any filters they might have in place, other than passing your encrypted packets to and fro.
2. The alternative port settings, 993 and 465, are "standard" alternative ports to open up on your remote server firewall and mail server to process mail. These ports would be open to the world, as well as from your machine, so need to be treated as if they are exposed to the internet. It is often the case that the mail server is configured with SSL or TLS to accept encrypted connections on this port, which provide some level of security. Your username/passwords for email are passed over this SSL/TLS so that they are encrypted in transit. However, nothing prevents a hacker from trying their 10,000 favorite passwords.
An SSL/TLS connection (#2) provides some security that communication is not intercepted, but connections are still anonymous. The SSH tunnel (#1) above requires authentication (username/password or preferably public/private key exchange) to ensure only trusted users can access the server. #1 requires more administration if a lot of people are involved.
So #1 is more secure in that only authorized users can access it. #2 provides some security to a publicly accessed resource.

This is not correct. You can pre-set a login id and pw on the remote with Teamviewer. That is how I access my remotes with TV.
Yeah, you can add devices to a free Teamviewer account and remote control them using the 'remote control using password' option with no user intervention on the other end. The only time the other person has to give you login details is if they are using the ad-hoc one-off support exe and don't actually have TV installed.

I've used Teamviewer for years. Very happy with it, but as I only use the personal version, I can't weigh in on pricing. I don't use it for customer support. I have a company GoToMeeting and use that.
