Setting up an Internet connection

You can use VNC Viewer to control a physically-remote computer over the Internet.

An Internet connection is typically made over a mobile (cellular) data network (3G/GPRS/EDGE). However, note that an Internet connection can also be made via Wi-Fi, for example if you are connecting from a public Wi-Fi hotspot.

Before you can establish an Internet connection to a particular computer, you must:

  1. Set up the computer.
  2. Configure its network environment.
  3. Discover its public network address.

You must perform these operations before you can establish a connection for the first time.
