Hi all! I would like to access my home computer from anywhere in the world. I have a few questions:

1. Is there a safe way to set up my computer for remote access for me only?
2. What exactly are my options?
3. How do I go about doing it?

Thanks,

Soar
 
For free/personal use, you can use:

Built-in Remote Desktop (forward port 3389 on your router)
TeamViewer
UltraVNC
Chrome Remote Desktop (Chrome app - Chrome has to be installed on both systems, as well as the Remote Desktop app).

Carnx,

Must I enable forward port 3389 on your router for Chrome Remote Desktop to work?

Thanks!

Shouldn't have to. Not sure what port it operates on, if it's something other than 80.
