Open-Source Remote Desktop via HTTP
We have been using LogMeIn for while, but have been taken 'hostage' twice now with sudden price/packages changes.
Does anyone know of good a Remote Desktop via HTTP solution which is open-source. It could be a set of tools/libs/code, not necessarily a finished product.

I have made a solution for a client sometime ago that, among other features, allowed him to connect to a vnc server from his browser without any plugin, just with HTML5\JS. If there was a lot of interest, that could be modified to provide some similar features as logmein
OK, can it do secure connections without having to tunnel into the network without VPN? Same as LogMeIn for example?
Just use a modern, secure variant of VNC or RDP. Most have reverse connect options. Assign (dynamic?) DNS entries to everything else that needs managed.
Don't make it unnecessarily hard.

What exactly are your needs? What type of remote desktop solution are you looking for?
Basic remote desktop access, doesn't even need to support file transfer/clipbaord. Most important aspect is that it should simply setup without the need for a VPN access (same as LogMeIn)
