Ask any small business owner and computer
problems will rank very high in the list of stressful things to affect your
company. But what do when your computer goes down and your 14-year-old nephew
lives to far away to come over and fix it?Virtual Private Network (VPN) software has been around for a while and is a great option. It allows you to give explicit permission to somebody else to take over and control your computer from a remote location (aka, another computer). It allows them to fix or install the necessary software just like they were sitting beside you.
In the past VPN software has been difficult to configure but all of that has changed with the introduction of Crossloop.
Crossloop is a remote desktop application with an easy to understand interface. You can literally get up and running in minutes without knowing a thing about ports or protocols.
Even though there are other pieces of software that allow you to connect computers over the internet, none of them are as easy to use as Crossloop. The other cool feature of it is that there is a new social networking site that they have developed for people who have problems and other people who are interested in helping.
All in all, a cool little piece of software that you might want to take a look at.
