<div dir="auto"><div>As mentioned right on the page, VNC, ssh, and x-forwarding, among others will do the exact same thing. You can even set up a web server to serve a VNC client and auto connect. I've done this with all sorts of operating systems. Heck we even ran VNC over a teamed dial up connection in late 1999. I think it was ORL Labs VNC iirc.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The advantage to this offering is you don't have to set up the services yourself. Pay for convenience is useful to many.

I'm seeing this New function promoted everywhere But what's new?
<div>
With X windows and ssh, raspberry pi and every linux OS has had remote access from anywhere always.
</div>
<div>
Are these folks selling something custom where you use there web site to access your RPi?
</div>
<div>
It does take some skills to setup a working RPi desktop through SSH and still have your mouse work to drive the cursor without glitch.
</div>
<div>
But Most people also Only need a text console to remotely control a RPi and in that case Putty works fine.
</div>
<div>
Also Windows OS has a remote terminal app that works fine for remoting RPi's X desktop. No webpage or browser app necessary.
</div>
<div>
So please explain what they've done New? and Is their custom app thru browser necessary? do they see your usage?
</div>
<div>
Thanks for comments/opinions.
