[Q]ASUS MyDesktop Remote Software

---

Can this only be used in the local network and not over the internet? It keeps telling me that it cannot locate the device. In the description it says "finds all local devices."

You can certainly use it over the net.

You will need to have the splashtop app running on your machine and need to set up port forwarding on your home router. The application uses tcp ports 6783, 6784 and 6785.

Great! Thank you!

You will also need your IP that your ISP assigns you. Hopefully it doesnt change regularly then you should be good to go.

A fix for that is to sign up w dyndys.org. then u can use hostname instead of ip.

Terrible idea to use it over the internet, just do a port scan for those ports and you can see anyone running this over the net. Then it's just a matter of exploiting the host or figuring out a weak password.

How do all the other remote desktops work then?

I used to remote desktop into my PC all the time with a laptop.

Not trying to be a smart as*, I'm just asking.

It would be better to set up a VPN back to your home network, then use the software to connect to your computer.

Go to logmein.com and check this site out. I've been using them for 3 years now

Thanks, I'll look into this.
