I didn't realise that Teamviewer was free so I'll look at that. join.me is

There is a mention of join.me still being free so I'll look at that.

Another possibility a quick google gave was ChunkVNC that relies on you
run=
ning a "server" and routes via that.

I've not tried it yet myself, but looks quite promising.
