turning my home computer into a seedbox

**forthat** · 08-16-2008, 11:11 AM

best way is allow u r computer through remote desktop........ ( there was a option in the remote connection u can use the system only from a specified ip address if u r in a campus u might have the a single ip address .)

and more over u home PC must have a constant ip address ....(this is most important )

then u have the seedbox that u want .........u can remote manage the system

yes there are a lot of options, remote desktop, logmein services, etc
i personally prefer realvnc + hamachi, i feel more secure, it works on my own and not on out there servers, and i also have a wide range of options so that i can adapt to any situation..
it's pretty simple for me, remote desktop works trough windows xp and i guess is more easily known and exploitable, logmein is some kind of external server, i simply don't like the idea
anyways realvnc + hamachi are easy enough even for the starter, and realvnc server will auto start everytime you reboot the computer

i didnt knew this metod, what auto login do you mean? windows xp auto user login? and what is the auto reboot for?

with remote desktop he can use the SSL or communicate or telnet his system if he was a pro user

with his remote desktop he can remote control his system ........

if he want shut down his system or reboot in the other ruotes this will be difficult

with remote desktop he easily operate it

It's possible to rdp to winbox after reboot even when that computer is at the login screen. It's not too tricky to setup vnc with Ubuntu so that you can connect at the login screen, either. If you're using other tools that require you to be logged in for them to work, then you'd have to autologin or never reboot.
