Remote Access Tools, Screen Sharing Tools

Remote Access tools.

• Not Tested: https://rustdesk.com/ - OSS - Seen on Hacker News, and /r/selfhosted - looks good, has iOS clients even, and a hosted NAT buster proxy
•  
• OLD: I've recently grown envious of LogMeIn.com tools.
• Here are some alternates (in case you can't install LogMeIn because "other" support guys have it tied up):
• Linked from this: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/04/28/1916234
• http://infoworld.com/d/mobilize/infoworld-review-free-remote-access-tools-windows-and-mac-018
• GONE: GBridge - http://www.gbridge.com/ - free and firewall friendly - somehow builds a VPN, then runs VNC through it.
• TeamViewer - http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx - free for non-commercial users (sort of, seems to be sensitive to more than a couple installs).
• AnyDesk - https://anydesk.com/ - free for non-commercial users
• Works Well: https://remotedesktop.google.com/support
• Not Tested: https://www.meshcommander.com/meshcentral2 - Open Source
• Not Tested: https://www.dwservice.net/en/ - Open Source
• ChunkVNC - is somewhat like join.me
• Free (?) VPN: http://www.neorouter.com/Downloads_nrfree.html
• Join.me - the GUI does NOT display on a VNC connection, it does show on an RDP connection... if for example you wanted to share a remote test computer over join.me
• Note: Windows Remote Assistance is wrapped around Remote Desktop, it does NOT magically go through NATs (and is thus basically useless for most scenarios).

Second Computer as Second Screen

Newer - Win8 compatible - http://spacedesk.ph/download/

ZoneOS uses a kernel driver to make a fake video card which is streamed to another computer with client software - i.e. turn a 2nd computer into a 2nd monitor - it's basic windows extended desktop after the install - I've used this. http://www.zoneos.com/zonescreen.htm - Seems to have stopped at experimental Win7 support.
