I'd recommend that your customer checks out [Chrome Remote Desktop](https://remotedesktop.google.com/). It's completely free, simple to set up, and seems to perform way better than VNC. Plus no need to open firewall ports or worry about encryption and security – that's all handled for you.

Just for the record, you don't need to worry about any of that with RealVNC either, and the protocol seems way more efficient than any other VNC I've used. Frankly, I think the product should be renamed to get rid of this bad association. It's way more similar to LogMeIn Pro than TightVNC, for example.

It’s a terrible user experience for anything other than clicking on things. Can’t use a lot of keyboard shortcuts because they trigger browser behaviours. An issue that didn’t exist when they had a chrome app. The website always breaks in some form. Is laggy. If you’re using windows and the lock screen happens and you come back. Copy/paste stops working.
The chrome app was awesome. The website sucks.

If it's free, you are the product. It's by Google for crying out loud.
I'd really like to use this but without a Google account. Hopefully this will be possible one day.

What's still in it for Google then?
