Two is One – Having multiple ways for remote access to you systems

Home / Blog / Two is One – Having multiple ways for remote access to you systems

If you are like me, you have to travel from time to time.  Personally, I have multiple systems still running at home, regardless of where I am.  Inevitably, when I leave town, something goes down.  Not long ago, I left town for a weekend, and my cat pee’d on a surge protector and it popped the breaker for my office.  In that instance…  remote access would not have helped me.  Ha ha.

However, more times than not, a system needs to restart, or restarted without my permission.  Then my virtual servers all need to be restarted if I want SAP access.  So, remote access is a must have.  But I have discovered that my consulting clients all have differences in their security.  For example, I’ve had clients that block Teamviewer, but allow Chrome Remote Access.  I’ve had other clients that are the reverse.  Worst of all, you never know what might work, and what might be blocked.

For this reason, I recommend always having two different systems installed on every machine you might need remote access.  I personally use Chrome Remote and Teamviewer, since both are free.  I’ve used GoToMyPC for a long time and it worked great (but you have to pay for that).

Take my advise, keep 2 methods on every system.  Thanks for reading,
