Ask HN: How do I get VNC access to a remote machine via a browser?
I'm teaching my 10 year old son how to program in Python. His teachers have approved the use of school time to work on specific programming projects. Problem is, the school district IT policies are restrictive and do not allow installs on their netbooks without an onerous, time-consuming review process.
Do any of you know some creative, preferably free, ways that would enable VNC-level access to a remote machine via a web browser? This would allow us to bypass the need to use school computers for IDE installs, work storage, etc.
I figure there's gotta be some sort of freeware app that should allow me to set that up. Ideally, he'd be able to have full console access, save his work, Python IDLE access, etc.
Open to any and all ideas...
Cheers, yekim
