NTRconnect Pro is an online service that enables you to remotely access and control your home or office computer from any Internet-connected computer anywhere in the world. NTRconnect works with multiple platforms. The computer that you want to be able to access remotely (“the host”) can be either a PC or a Mac; the computer from which you want to access the host (“the client”) can be a PC, Mac, or Pocket PC. NTRconnect supports all versions of Windows from Windows 95 to Windows Vista, Mac OS X 10.2 or higher, and Windows Mobile Pocket PC versions 5 and 2003, including the Phone Editions. You’re not tied to accessing a Mac from a Mac or a PC from a PC--you can access a Mac from a PC, a PC from a Mac, or either from a Pocket PC.
NTRconnect supports multiple platforms so, of course, it supports multiple browsers, too. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, and Camino can all be used. Such broad support means that you can use almost any computer - running almost any operating system and browser - to access your home or office computer.
Traditional remote access solutions, such as VPN products, require that an application be installed and configured on the client--and this can make remote access difficult when you are using a public-access computer in an Internet café, airport kiosk, or hotel. NTRconnect, however, requires no client-side application; instead, it’s installed on the host. To access the host, you simply visit the NTRconnect website and enter the name of the host and the password--both of which you are prompted to create during installation.
Unlike other remote access solutions, NTRconnect does not require you to adjust your firewall settings or invest in special hardware--it’ll work through just about any firewall without the need for additional rules to be created.
