    it’s a combination software + web based tool. basically Yoics is a powerful, secure VPN for any TCP service – where you can access your devices from any browser.

  6. Chris on March 13th, 2009 at 1:37 pm:

    Does the Yoics software need to be left open at all times to allow remote access? Or is having the WinVNC on enough?

  7. admin on March 13th, 2009 at 1:43 pm:

    You have the option of closing Yoics, but leaving the service running. In that mode, the “VPN” part of Yoics continues to run, along with VNC, so you can remote access – but the application stays closed.

    Dear Support,

    When I try to add http://www.yoics.com/gadgets/YoicsBetaGadget.xml in Gmail, I get an error “Invalid gadget specification. Ensure URL is correct and the gadget does not contain errors.” Are you having technical issues? Is there a workaround? Please advise.

    Thanks,
    Mohal

    We just verified that it’s working as expected. Please make sure that there are no spaces or special (hidden) characters that might have crept in.
