It appears that this can now be done using a couple of solutions.
1. Depicus
2. Some Site based PHP jobbies
So that's good. I'm playing with the idea of leaving a cheap low powered laptop at the folks house that i can connect to remotely. Being able to power it down (aside from the NIC) would be a huge plus.
My concern is... should I be worried about using some random program to access my Laptop? I mean, they could do a lot with my IP/MAC and the correct ports, right? The impression i get is that they mask your current IP with that of the LAN you;re connecting to... so they could just do that for themselves?
Any thoughts?
