You can use VNC to connect to multiple PCs behind a public IP by opening and using more ports. You may also have to open port 5900 on your firewall and router, and to direct said port to the PC you want to control. To control another PC, simply open the VNC viewer (client), enter the PC’s IP address, and have at it. To use VNC, install it on both the PCs you want to connect and then set them to listening. VNC is a good option if you need to control multiple PCs regularly. VNC isn’t hard to use, but it’s not as simple as and TeamViewer, which don’t require user knowledge of IP addresses. VNC, or Virtual Network Computing, isn’t itself a product, but an open-source remote-control and display technology that’s implemented by Tight VNC (free), Ultra VNC (free) and RealVNC (free and pay), among other parties. 5 alternatives to LogMeIn Free for remote PC access VNC
