Hi guys.
I am sorry that you got my posting wrong.
First to john3voltas:
AlterEGO is a 3rd party service instead, not a straight forward
software like UltraVNC is.
We pay for hosting, bandwidth and give away FREE connections
to anyone that uses it, and more if he registers himself, with
no obligation for them. We do not make money from it, we
excpect income from our Professional Service.
AlterEGO actually uses TCP/UDP mediation methods and a lot of
other GUI logic to make life easier for people behind firewalls and in
general routers with NO open ports to get connected to each other.
Netgotiator technology is actually based on the mediation level.
We rely on plugins on top, to pass over the mediation channels and
with a nice easy logic, connect people using : VNC, RDP, Radmin,
Video etc... For our VNC method we choose to use UltraVNC because
it is stable, has file transfer and we like it
Not only because it is FREE. We have paid for another commercial
VNC product, but it is still unstable under C# and we do not use it
for now.
WE DO NOT RELY on UltraVNC to make business. We are just the
mediator service. People can use AlterEGO with a simple built in RDP
or commercial Radmin (if they own it), or even Video and any other
TCP based server/client app.
Myself, I am using it also with our Mail plugin to read/send mail
through its channels to and from my computer at the Office
And we paid for commercial software to serve our FREE service
called AlterEGO (I am refering to Xenocode, Smart-Code VNC activex,
WodVPN etc), as well as Code Signing Certificates, Web Certs etc.
So, please do not think that paying some 500$ monthly (including
Hosting) to keep up a FREE service like ALTEREGO is NOT an offer
to UltraVNC or OPEN SOURCE users out there ... If people do not
like us and do not support us, we will certainly not be able to keep
up. For two years now, we invest solely out of our pockets ...
I said too much and people might think I am excessive in defending
our service. Sorry about this.
Finally, about 800 users use AlterEGO for FREE.
Registration does not cost them anything at all, it is just a
way to help us support them if they need help, even for FREE.
Now, to Redge, I acknowledge his work and effort in the Open Source
area and in UltraVNC forums and do not want to be impolite.
It is just that we do not program natively in C++ but in C# so,
we cannot be of much help to UltraVNC source. Our modifications
of the code are only basic and help users not to feel strange with
the VNC plugin and we are actually trying to make usability easier
for them.
We WANT to be of help into Graphics of UltraVNC or Docs,
where we could do best. Please show us the way that UltraVNC
needs people to contribute in other ways than code and we will follow.
We took the decsion NOT to put Netgotiator under OPEN SOURCE,
but that may change in the future if people like our work. We could
always have some services to rely in making money out of these, and
mostly these services could be based on creativity in simple life
situations rather than code .
Regards
EXILLION
