Remote desktop connection over internet without port forwarding?

Question

let's say that we have this situation. I want to remote desktop connection to my friend over the internet, but I don't have premission for port forwarding on the router, and my friend also can't configure his router. So the question is how to connect to computer without port forwarding, I know that is out there some programs like teamviewer, or some else that solve that task, but what I looking for is the some free site that can make "bridge" between are two computer, or is it possible to install on computer some program that simulate virtual router or something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIof7kFTgJE .... I need this cause I have my own simple remote desktop connection program, but I can't connect to other computer outside network cause don't have premission to configure router :(

any comment, link, advice, or tutorials will be very helpful :)

Answer 2

You could use some sort of vpn implementation; that would effectively put you on the same network. For windows systems; I use hamachi.

Answer 3

You can use mqtt to exchange data between a a terminal on the remote PC (you could in theory proxy also a VNC binary data) and the web page by using a broker in the cloud.

Answer 4

FWIW, I've done this without problems between two PCs running different versions of Windows (XP and 7) without doing anything special at either end as-far-as router configurations goes. It just worked -- so go ahead and give it a try.
