The only last step is to make sure that if you’re using a router, you open up a “hole” so that you can connect to your Shutter server through the router. To do this, just go to your router administration control panel (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, depending on your router’s brand) and configure port forwarding as shown here i can’t understand this point.

I think for many of the end-users who aren't quite as technically savvy to be able to set up SSH as you've described, the port forwarding with an ID/Password setup is a useful option. Certainly not the most secure - but some people are willing to trade security for ease-of-use. Thanks for the advice Matt – and your advice is certainly useful.

It had it's own POTS line and I could call it, enter a touchtone code, and it would power the switch off / wait 20 seconds / power it back on. Just like hitting the power switch. Im sure you could do a google search and find one still. It solved my late night search for someone to go in and do it manually....

It would be a SERIOUS security flaw to enable port forwarding for VNC on any system. It is not secure and can be cracked by a simple brute forced attack. That would leave your whole system vulnerable for takeover. Even VNC advises against it. I would also dissuade you from opening and forwarding the remote desktop/remote assistance ports. It is better to connect via ssh ( non standard port) and tunnel 5900.(5901 etc) or any port you want and only leave ssh open. The only port that should be forwarded by the router is a secure port only. SSH is not the ONLY solution, but a damn good one. This can also be accomplished by a VPN as well, but they tend to cost a fair amount and are not trivial to set up. For a simple ssh server that can be run on windows, rather than go through the cluster of setting up cygwin, use the Xlivecd that the university of Indiana has conveniently created and made available. It is an Xserver with SSH that need only be run as a cd IN windows. Since it is not writable is it less vulnerable. Your mileage may vary. Good luck. stay secure. http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/ (even though the cd is from '04, its still far more secure than just forwarding unsecure ports.) This is not a flame or troll or flame bait.
