"family remote support" with VNC

1) vnc.myname.domain — I have static IPs, but you could use DynDNS to have a DNS name point to. . .
2) a static nat rule that takes the IP assigned to vnc.myname.domain and forwards port 5500 (the default listening VNC port) to. .
3) a listening VNC viewer I run when I talk to my family members.

In order to use the three possible installations of your Business license, you need to link the respective TeamViewer IDs to your license in the TeamViewer Management Console. The devices with their TeamViewer IDs can then be used for commercial purposes.

Watch this video to learn about how to link your Business license from the license confirmation email to your TeamViewer account.

PaaS: VNC Client Access

Configure VNC Access via Monitor

1. Go to VM´s 'Monitor' panel in the web interface.
2. You can setup a plain VNC or also a password secured one:
   • for the plain one type the following into the monitor:

   change vnc 0.0.0.0:100

   100 denotes the port, this will get added to the VNC base port of 5900, so in this case the VNC server listens on all addresses on port 6000.

   • for the password secured one type the following into the monitor:

   change vnc 0.0.0.0:100,password
   set_password vnc foobar1

   note: the first "password" parameter after the IP address mustn't be replaced by a password but is the word "password" itself, this is just a boolean parameter telling QEMU that the server needs a password.

3. now you may connect via the ip address and port (6000 in the above example)

The configuration is not persistent, i.e. after the VM has been stopped and started again the above actions have to be repeated in order to enable VNC access via external client.

TeamViewer vs VNC

TeamViewer is convenient but hard to managed centrally. Therefore using VNC or RDP through VPN may be better solutions when remote GUI is needed.
