Well, I wouldn't like doing this, because you give the people at "gotomypc"
100% control over your PC. In addition this weakens the security of your own
PC, because people could get in, if they cracked gotomypc. Also speed would
not be optimal, as it seems that all data is tunneled through the gotomypc
site.

Why not simply install VNC with the Java applet on your computer?

Then you can simple connect to your address and control your computer
through the Java applet. I.e. you need to install no extra client programs
(as long as you have a webbrowser with Java support).
