What platform?
For my mum I have registered a dynamic DNS hostname and pointed it at
her machine, which updates using ddclient. I opened an ssh port
through to her Ubuntu desktop and set it up to use key based logon
only for security. I configured the GNOME based remote desktop server
built into Ubuntu to just let me connect with no prompt, and set a
password.
My mum phones me when she needs help. I just go to my computer and do this:-
vncviewer -via mumsmachine.dyndns.org localhost
This sets up an SSH tunnel to her computer and then connects to the
vnc server on her pc and prompts me for the vnc password. I type that
and instantly see her desktop. Easy peasy.
