Still alive and kicking

Yeah, Grinder reminded me its been over a month since I last posted so I figured since I was killing time anyways I’d see about posting up a sweet software program I found today in my quest to get Remote Desktop working over SSH because my router decided to block the RDP port unexpected today. I found Bitvise’s Tunnelier and I’m not ashamed to say I’m going to buy a copy of the expanded version even though the free one has all the features I’d ever need. They make it so simple to get up and running that it almost makes me want to cry, especially since I’ve researched the “hard way” and had that running once or twice before. That just makes me appreciate the simple and straightforward interface they present all the more. The best part is previously I was using the remote desktop connection to connect to a PC that had an SSH client installed simply because I didn’t want to mess with the headache of reconfiguring a new one in Vista with who knows what kind of compatibility. Tunnelier installed and ran with no modifications and no issues whatsoever, kudos guys.
