Crossloop, replacement program for Remote Desktop and VNC
By Reaper-X on Nov 22, 2006 in Freeware, Internet Tools, Software, Windows
CrossLoop is a FREE secure screen sharing utility designed for people of all technical skill levels. CrossLoop extends the boundaries of traditional screen sharing by enabling non-technical users to get connected from anywhere on the Internet in seconds without changing any firewall or router settings. It only takes a few minutes to setup and no signup is required.
For those who didn't know Crossloop is another remote administration but in this case it should be called remote troubleshooting tools like VNC / RAdmin / Remote Desktop (actually it's based on WinVNC) without the need to configure anything on your router. And that means all you have to do is run the program and you can share your computer screen with your friend (unfortunately at the current version, you can't use it to transfer files)
And the main advantages of this program is you don't have to ask your friend / someone else IP Address first. Because you’re connected through the Crossloop server via HTTP and that means by simply typing the access key, you can connect to your friend computer. And the simple way to send your access key is by using IM and don’t try to use email either because when you’ve pressed the Host button, there’ll be 2 minutes time limit before it’ll automatically disconnecting your self from the Crossloop network and that means you’ll have to make sure your friend is ready to connect to your computer before activating the crossloop.
As for the connection security, you don't have to worry about that because crossloop will encrypt your communication using 128 bit encryption. The only thing you’ll have to worry is inviting someone that can't be trusted to operate your computer :P … and that’s all about Crossloop ;)
