LogMeIn announced today that they are discontinuing their free service. While I wish they kept a free version, I can't blame them because they did offer a great product at no cost for quite some time. I used LogMeIn for emergencies only and do not plan to subscribe to the paid version.
I am sure that there are going to be many free alternatives popping up in their place, but I would like to share my solution.
Chrome Remote Desktop is nothing fancy, but it will allow you to remotely connect to your computers & servers from any location. It is cross platform, so it does work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows & Chromebooks. I still have to test if it works from Chrome from Android/iOS.
Chrome Remote Desktop has 2 modes.
1. Remote Assistance, which both parties need to be running Google Chrome and a random code is given so that the remote person can watch and control the other persons computer.
2. Access to your own computers. You can assign a 6+ digit pin to your computers giving you access to them from any other chrome browser.
