Instant VPN for Real VNC.

Remote desktop

With remote desktop, you gain the abilty to remote maange your computer from any web browser.  In addition, you can share your desktop to easily give demonstrations or presentations, without the need to sign-up for an expensive paid for service.  Yoics comes pre-configured with the free version of Real VNC, one of the most popular remote desktop programs.  The only limitation with this program is that it does not work with Vista versions of Windows.  Yoics also supports the personal version of Real VNC, TighVNC and Microsoft Remote Desktop.  If you’re using Windows XP, the setup Wizard will automaticall setup your desktop for you.

Setup Wizard

The easiest way to configure Remote Desktop is through the setup wizard.  The wizard will start the first time you run Yoics and is available anytime by going to >> Tools, Setup Wizard.

Just make sure the first option is selected, and the Wizard will automatically configure your compute for remote desktop.

  1. If you are running VISTA, this option will be greyed out.
  2. The default name that Yoics will assign is “My Desktop,” if you setup multiple computers, beginning with the second one, Yoics will ask if you want to select a different name.

Accessing via the Desktop

Like all other Yoics devices, simply double-click on the device & a window with you remote desktop will be launched.

Accessing via the web

Go to yoics.com and login using your yoics credentials.

Once logged in:

  1. Click on “My Desktop” just like you would any hyperlink.
  2. The device window will give you status on the connection & will be updated with the VNC logo.
  3. You’ll get a separate VNC connection window, simply select “OK” to complete the connection.

Remote desktop window

Whichever way you access, you’ll get a separate window which you can remote manage with your keyboard and mouse.  The mouse and keyboard reaction time performance will vary based on the connection speed of your computer & the remote computer.

    Pay attention: there’s a dead link in the home page: I found this page directly with google, accessing from the home page is much more hard. The dead link is the “Remote desktop” in the page http://www.yoics.com/?p=19 pointing to http://ww.yoics.com/?cat=38 which doesn’t exist

    Hmm…I have XP service pack 3 and it is grayed out. Going to View > Connection Details tells me I’m running Windows NT 5.1.2600. Which I’m not. And, what confuses me more is I have RealVNC installed. The latest version, as of 3/13/09.

    Do you mean that the VNC option is greyed out? And that you have the commercial version of RealVNC installed?
