A Redundancy of Failovers

For your windows boxes, why use/pay for Teamviewer (if it's free, nevermind) RDP over Pertino should work just fine and be completely secure.

Teamviewer for personal use is free, so I use that. However, Teamviewer allows me access from any PC, without having to install Pertino.

At home, if I want to access my laptop I have to physically kick my kid off Minecraft. If I want to access my iPad I have to physically kick my daughter off Netflix. This normally comes with a row about "it's not fair, why do you have to work!"
At work, either RDP to a server over Hamachi, or LogMeIn onto my office workstation.
I only live a couple of miles from work though, so worse case I can get off my sofa and walk.

Considering how important a computer is for your job - I personally would never allow my child on my machine - I'd get them their own that they can destroy to their hearts content... lol

Lol. I did leave an RDP session to work open on Sunday and my lad jumped on and tried to get it working. He said "the password wasn't accepted", and I said "that's because I'm logged on to work with my work password" and he said "Oh, ok, can you let me have your work password then?".
It's more of a problem with our sales reps letting their teenagers use their work laptops. All sorts of trouble can occur then.

Yeah that's because when their children ask for the password, they just give it to them.. ug!

Their kids don't even need to ask if it's written on a post-it note on the monitor.

I use the highly secure leave-it-off function on my home PC. If my assistance is requested at home by Mrs nadnerB, then I use Teamviewer.
