Open-Source Remote Desktop via HTTP

I have made a solution for a client sometime ago that, among other features, allowed him to connect to a vnc server from his browser without any plugin, just with HTML5\JS. If there was a lot of interest, that could be modified to provide some similar features as logmein

OK, can it do secure connections without having to tunnel into the network without VPN? Same as LogMeIn for example?

Just use a modern, secure variant of VNC or RDP. Most have reverse connect options. Assign (dynamic?) DNS entries to everything else that needs managed.

Don't make it unnecessarily hard.

What exactly are your needs? What type of remote desktop solution are you looking for?

Basic remote desktop access, doesn't even need to support file transfer/clipbaord. Most important aspect is that it should simply setup without the need for a VPN access (same as LogMeIn)

You can use NoVNC it's a really good VNC solution based on HTML5

OK, I'm looking at it now. I will install and try it. Thanks for the tip!
