Re: How to connect 2 PC remotely (FREE)

I use Remote Desktop all the time to get to my work PC from home. We do 
have a VPN connection, so that this is secure. Otherwise you'd have to 
open up the port forwarding on the router you have at the church, to let 
you come in. There may be a way to limit that to certain remote IP 
addresses, but those can probably be spoofed.

It is possible to get a VPN router - used to have one from LinkSys 
protecting another internal network I worked at. You would probably use 
the native Windows VPN IPSEC stuff to get in.

We use something called Mobile VPN with SSL Client to get to our 
internal network from outside. Maybe Google that name.
