Self hosted software like LogMeIn???

Hey guys, my Google Fu is just about spent and hoping some of y'all have looked for such or are using a solution. We are looking for a self hosted solution like LogMeIn. Needs to have unattended capabilities and prefer the the ability to reboot computers into safe mode if need be. I ran across Guacamole at guac-dev.org and it seems interesting, but it looks to be more of an intranet deal and not remote access.

Thanks in advance!

I know they are not full fledged replacements for logmein, however have you looked into VNC?

I used the original VNC about 15 years ago, and then support by AT&T Labs in Cambridge was discontinued. RealVNC was spun from that, and that's what we used up to when I left my last job 4 years ago.

I need remote access without VPN requirement or VNC would be perfect for my needs.

You did not mention a price/budget constraint.....

I believe showmypc would do the trick, but it isn't free:

You could use the native RDP, assuming you're using Windows, however that requires opening up a port, and not the best security-wise.

Here are some other options as well:

Bomgar definitely seems like the route we will need to go.
