Many of you will be wondering what is a Remote Desktop Program and if I need it. The answer to those questions will come in due time, and I will give you my favorite remote desktop program not only because it is free but it is really easy to learn as well which is good because many people have not been exposed to this type of software before. Now below I will cover many aspects of this type of software and if you did not figure out what program it is from the picture I will tell what it is and explain why I chose to use it.
This is a program that allows you to remotely control a computer from another location. So for instance I can go over to my friends house and as long as I have the program running on my computer and the computer is on then I can connect to it via the internet. This is very useful especially if you are an IT guy and need to connect to your work computer to solve an issue, so you don't need to go all the way down to your office to solve the issue. This type of software is very useful, and with the growing age of "smart devices" we are able to control computers from our phones and tablets.
Is It Secure?
It really depends on which program you are using if you want to determine its safety. However many of these programs have a password that you have to set, and you can generally set it up to only allow certain IP addresses to connect to your device. In the program that I use you have a randomly generated password and username each time so you either have to log in via that information or if you are connecting from your phone you have to connect by logging into your account. These are the common ways to block people from hacking in and taking control of your computer not to mention they would have to know that you have this software in the first place.
What Program Do You Recommend?
I recommend a program called TeamViewer this program is free to use for personal use, and they have their price listings on the website for corporate and business use. I recommend this program because it is free, secure, and it is really easy to learn. Not to mention the fact that it works on Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, and your IOS devices. The program is also updated to be compatible with all the latest versions of the operating systems.
What Can I Do With TeamViewer?
You can as I said remotely control your computer or another one that you have access to. You can even control them through your mobile device it is only usable on IOS and Android. This is useful if you are away from your computer and need to connect to it to start a long download or something and you won't be home for a while. These are the main features of the program because a remote desktop is not really complicated and it does not need a ton of features because you have your computer on your phone that is a ton more features than you had before.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a free remote desktop software use TeamViewer and get it on your mobile phone, so you can set up all of your accounts. You can get the program by going to Google and typing in TeamViewer, or you can click the link below.
