Hi guys,

 

 

 

I was just wondering if there is any free app to remote connect to my mac that seats at my place. My idea is to connect from a Windows 10 work computer to my mac mini at home.

 

 

 

I know that I can do it via Chrome but I'll need some on both ends to do it so.

 

 

 

Thanks a lot

I would suggest TeamViewer here as I've used it for this in the past and it has worked very well. But it has had a few security issues over the past few years (https://www.vice.com/en/article/akdqxk/why-cybersecurity-experts-hate-teamviewer-the-software-used-to-tamper-with-florida-water-supply).

 

Searching for a teamviewer alternative (https://www.dnsstuff.com/teamviewer-alternatives) would be a good place to start, I haven't needed to do any remote desktop connection recently so can't suggest a good app sorry.

I dont have a mac but do use Chrome via my iPad Pro and win 10 desktop with zero issues.  Both ends you use the same google account. I installed on the Ipad via the app store.

Absolutely AnyDesk. I use it to access a Mac from a Windows 10 machine and never had an issue.

Thank everybody, I'll try AnyDesk, however, I think it's just 14 days free trial, right?

No, it's free for personal use.
