GoMyPlace is free, open source, and has all the features listed above and waaaaay more.

Use standard browsers to tap your home/office PCs remotely from cell phones, PDAs, or any other Net-enabled devices.
And you’ll be able to do it with your machine still hidden safely behind a firewall and NAT.

Oh boy. Yet another software patent for a basic, obvious, perhaps even strictly quantitative extension of existing code.

That aside, folks, if you want real security, stick to open source. Linux + open source apps have always had Windows + closed source apps whipped where security is concerned. Real security isn’t asking users to blindly trust what’s inside the black box to be secure, non-malicious, cleanly uninstallable, and free of any DRM time bomb when their “license” expires. It’s actually showing users what’s inside, allowing them to fine tune it to suit their needs, and keep it exactly as long as they want it, no more, no less.
