Question

I am looking for a Remote Access software similar to Teamviewer for Raspbian. Although Teamviewer has a Linux client, it's only for x86/x64 and not ARM. Although GUI controlling would be nice, I would settle for command line access (shell).

I tested with TightVNC and it works fine. Unfortunately my Raspberry Pi would not have a static IP. So I installed a dynamic DNS client. Although this is working fine, it would not let me access it without port forwarding on my router. This will be placed at a site where I will not be able to change router configuration.

My requirements for the software are

Should run on Raspbian
Support ARM architecture
Ideally should not require port forwarding on router
GUI/Shell access (SSH ?)

Explanation / Answer

I ended up using the instructions provided here and here

Summary is.

Install Hamachi for Raspbian (Use logmein-hamachi-2.1.0.101-armel as the latest version does not work)

Create network using your LogMeIn Account.
Install Hamachi client for Windows
Install x11vnc/SSH
Get the IP Address using Hamachi Client and use putty for SSH or VNC Viewer for VNC.

So it's basically Hamachi + SSH/VNC.
