I don't use it much in CrossLoop anyway, speeds are often terrible. Luckily there are many ways to conveniently transfer files. So as long as CrossLoop gets remote control right it will have its niche. @Techy

Luckily there are many ways to conveniently transfer files. So as long as CrossLoop gets remote control right it will have its niche.

However like everything else, they have gone from a free product to a service charge product for more advanced features like file transfers. It used to be that file transferring was just part of the interface, now they charge a premium for this capability. Well it was great while it lasted. Still a useful product if you are trying to help out a friend, family member or co-worker with a computer problem. I have been using it for at least a couple of years now and it really is pretty slick. CrossLoop is and was a great product.

Connectivity is quite mean, I was able to make it work even through port 80 http proxy. It is flexible so for more open connections it will go directly and for more closed it will be routed through CrossLoop servers. Encryption is 128 bit Blowfish at endpoints.

Does it require port forwarding through gateways? open ports on firewalls? What sort of encryption does it use? I could just look these upmyself, but I like your blog (i'm a friend of Xangelos) and so I thought i'd ask here :) Is it free?

Radmin is nice (I have that at work) but it isn’t compatible with generic VNC and is shareware.

I see little reason to use it except some specific advanced functions are needed.
