@straw No. VNC requires direct network access. If you are on the other side of the globe and the user on that machine is not very computer-literate, good luck getting to that point.

TeamViewer and Anydesk are zero-configuration, pretty much. They basically require only running an app and passing a string of numbers to operate.

@drq oh yeah, maybe someone should make a VNC-based thing that is easy to set up... but VNC does serve the same function once set up right?

@straw Getting an image and listening for input events is not hard. "Setting up" is the key part. It makes a world of difference.
