You just need to download the server and the client from their website and choose an user name and password. If you have a webcam and your device has access to internet through a data plan or wifi you will be able to watch your plants when you are not at home...
No IP, no domains, nothing! just this name and pass.
You will be able to add other cams from friends if they give you access, and you can have a 2 way conversation with pc and xda.
I have tested it on my prophet and it rocks! image is great and refresh is quite good. There is also a sensibility add to use your webcam as security cam.
That simple and for free
REspecTo!

Stumbled on it while searching for the opposite, a VNC viewer. Works great. Lets you control your android from any computer using either a VPN client or from a browser. The app provides both a VNC IP address and a url to visit if you just want to use a browser
I've tried another product that was like MyMobiler (windows only) and it was ok but you couldn't interact with the phone.
Droid VNC server is an actual vnc server, what else is there to say. Very happy with this free app. And this is just a recommendation, I'm not affiliated with the dev or anything.
Wishlist for the app:
• I wish I could trigger teh server to start with a passphrase in a text message.
• Wish I could SHARE the IP address in a press or two so I could email or sms it to somebody so they dont have to type it in. I also can't copy it, that would be second best. (well I can copy it using CopyPasteIt but unless you have that app you can't)
I cant get it to work

You could setup Tasker to handle this.
I stumbled on WebKey that seems to do the same thing as this. Cool and free app, but you have to be rooted... but who's not. lol
Will our phones print web pages and such over the Bluetooth? My wife does a lot of printing coupons and I figured it would be one more IP to print from if its possible. I know it wont print them via cloud and such. Thanks in advance
Take a look at PrinterShare. This page doesn't mention BT but the app supports it. Try the free, crippled version first to check compatibility.

I saw that but if I get a new printer Id like to do it over bluetooth.
Printers over wifi & Google cloud print are pretty well fail proof. If running ICS ull have the ability to run chrome. Chrome from ur main PC or notebook use chrome, go into settings advanced settings. Click Google cloud print to add ur new wifi printer. It's all self explanatory from there.
Is there a way to control your PC from your phone remotely? So like I can manage downloads while at work and whatnot?

theres like 97268466 apps to do this. just search the market for remote pc or something. i use pocket cloud and team viewer, but there are tons of vnc apps, log me in, and i hear theres since rdp apps in the works.

Here's what I do for remote access:
- Download and install VNC software for your computer. I use Tight VNC. Make sure you use a password for incoming connections!
- Forward ports 5800 and 5900 to the PC you want to control. This is done in your router. You'll need to know the local IP of your computer. You can google this if you don't know how. It should be something like 192.168.1.100
- Download a VNC viewer from the market. I use Real VNC viewer. It's expensive, so I'd try a few free ones first.
- Find your public IP address. You can find this in your router or google "Whats my IP". There are lots of websites that will show you what your IP is.
- Fire up that VNC app on your phone, enter your public IP and the password you set and you should see your desktop.
A few notes:
- You can set a static IP for your local computer. Chances are this will not change too often.
- Your ISP will change your public IP every so often. You can pay for a static IP that does not change, but I do not. Mine changes every six months or so.
That's about it. Good luck!
There are alot if apps for that, but the one I used didn't work out so well.

phonemypc is the easiest to use that I have found.
Install on your pc and setup your own login and password. Install app on your phone and enter that same login and password.
You can control multiple pcs and you don't have to mess with any ports or pc settings to get it to work.
I will second phonemypc. Have used it for over a year now, very nice.
Story once was my wife couldn't get teh mouse to work on the desktop and needed to print something. She called me, I brought it up on my phone and printed it for her. just one time I really needed it.
Teamviewer is my favorite
Hey there XDA
So I was reading this article the other day that pertains to security and encryption on the Android Operating System
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_cia38.htm
Basically what is says is that even if you use encryption in apps there's nothing preventing people from accessing your devices mic or camera
But I was thinking what if you encrypt ALL outgoing traffic? Now I'm not the most well versed guy when it comes to technology but I've heard about for example SSH tunnels
So I found this guide on how to setup one on Android: https://www.howtogeek.com/121698/how-to-route-all-your-android-traffic-through-a-secure-tunnel/
Would this effectively encrypt all outgoing data?

Not really, setting up an SSH tunnel will only encrypt your traffic between your device and your server, at some point most traffic will have to enter the internet in just as secure manner as it does now so that you can view a website for example, it will add another layer of security, but really only useful for privacy from those on your local network or (if your server is outside your ISP network) from your ISP also (but you'd have to change your DNS servers also or they can get info from there about sites you visit)
Also non of that will stop the issue you mention above about gaining access to your camera, mic, files etc that to beat encryption they just have to gain access to your phone, that could be as simple as sending you a malware link to your email, Whatsapp or whatever, which you visit. Which seems to be what my mum did 2 days ago, there was a well crafted email that appeared to be from Genes Reunited making specific reference to her personal private data & contacts in her account so she clicked the link, now she has no internet access & other issues on tablet, but of course I can't log in to fix from here & she can't follow my instructions over the phone properly! The email password she gave me doesn't work (I wanted to examine the file she clicked on), though there was no confirmation via txt of password changed. So right now I'm not sure as could be related to the TalkTalk hacks.... Or just my mum! Rant over!
So in short no, ssl is not a simple solution

Heh, **** man.. Hope she sorts it out
Now I think I've decided to use an SSH tunnel paried with RSA authentication for the time being, it seems good enough for me

Tor seems awesome
The proper way to achieve this is using a vpn which permits flexibility on the networking side. I use openvpn server on my home computer and i connect my phones to it. It is set to redirect all traffic through the encrypted tunnel which is forwarded to the internet through my home computer.
Now as noted before the information still goes out to the net at some point and comes back. Encrypting traffic does not help if you click on something malicious out there.
It does help to prevent the directly connected network to snoop on your actual traffic though. Handy when you connect to free wifi etc. Also you can filter traffic by application on the phone or by destination on the other side on the server.
I need and app that allows me to see web connections on phones on my network like what a certain IP"connected to my WiFi" is browsing
App that allow you to see web connection
Not only an app, you are supposed to be having a paid firewall. It is having a network flow panel which will let you know how many devices are connected with your IP address and what http packets they are accessing.
Or if you are having a client server topology, then server logs can easily tell you which user is viewing what.
Even there are free tool for checking ip address-
1) Microsoft Network Monitor
2) Nagios
3) OpenNMS
4) Advance IP Scanner
you can also try "Norton Family" when you first register you have 30 days of trial for free.
Csploit does achieve this I believe, and you can also intercept other people's browsing.Though, you should be really careful when using it and you should really know what all the functions do. I do not recommend you using it, but if it is a one time quicky then sure.
