Hi All,
I need some advice from tech gurus for a solution to access my Windows 10 home PC remotely (Over the internet) from a mac laptop.
Mac —> Internet —> Home PC
I have done some research online , one option to is to enable port forwarding (to allow remote desktop connection from internet) in my home router. However I understand the port forwarding option is not secure potentially exposing a security hole to access the home network.
What is a good setup to achieve this ?
Thanks.Is it as secure as citrix which I use for work?
Teamviewer is free for personal use, albeit with a pop up saying so every time you end your connection.
I think you'll need to install the software on the PC, and then download the Viewer on the Mac.
chrome remote desktop, its free and works :)
TeamViewer would be the most reliable and hasell free.
VNC is good too but with free version you would still end up opening ports on router.
I use chrome remote for end-users but it relies on user logged into windows and chrome running. TV and VNC can run in background as a windows service.
Teamviewer is the best and easiest - if you're here asking advice - then you need to use Teamviewer because your skill level doesn't have to be high to use it
:)
Thank you all. I will be mostly using office product (outlook , office ) on the remote computer (home PC ) . Would AnyDesk / Teamviewer do the job ?
Teamviewer personal use it seems no longer free.
Still thought TeamViewer was free..
Maybe double check VNC connect as well since they might have free options for home users?
I just use AnyDesk and it is free and works flawlessly without needing to tweak my router.

I use it to control and transfer files to and from my Mac to PC at another address.
