When installing Linux for friends and family, I usually leave a script that sets up a remote SSH tunnel to my server, so that I can connect back to them via SSH even when they are behind regular DSL firewalls. On Windows, however, I am not sure what solution is the best and easiest way for me to offer remote support. A VPN does seem like a terrible amount of trouble. Does anyone have experience on an easy and free solution for this?
