I recently stumbled across a program called CrossLoop. it is a secure screen sharing utility. Best of all, it is free.

The publisher claims that it works simply and does not require you to do any router or other configuration to get the program to work. Further, the transmission between the computers is encrypted (128 bit), and explicit permission from the host computer is required before the remote computer can connect.

This looks like a great program to use when you need to fix the computer of your family member who is somewhere else (whether across the town or the ocean).

It looks like a great idea that is easy to use. Has anyone here tried it?
