If you want a continuously loaded server process listening for inbound
connection requests to a remote host, look at using one of the free VNC
derivatives. You will have to install the VNC server on the remote
host, configure your software firewall to allow unsolicited inbound
connections to whatever port on which the VNC server is listening,
probably have to punch through your router's firewall (to redirect
inbound connects on that port to your VNC server-ed host), and your host
would need to know that is the current WAN-side IP address of your
router at the remote host (unless you employ dynamic DNS to use a
hostname that points to whatever is the current WAN-side IP address of
your remote host's router). TeamViewer, Logmein, mikogo, and other
remoting services eliminate all that setup (by the endpoint hosts making
outbound HTTP connects which firewalls and routers are configured to
allow by default).

That doesn't interest me.

it's also a very bad idea.



The Macbook has OSX 10.7 because that is the highest OS it can use.

which means it's about 12 years old. the best solution is to replace it
with a more recent laptop, new or used, mac or pc, and use a later
version of teamviewer or any of its competitors.
