    WGAF.

    I have remoted into home to do dev work from a client when they paid me to "wait" for work to be given, I also had sky on the second monitor.

      VPN is always allowable and justifiable, server side a doddle to set up for the average techie (three weeks of pain and £5000 over budget and then canned in the end for the average PM, and 'Whats a VPN' from the average BA), since I do actually have four VPN connections (and four different VPN apps) on my work lappy, one to my home rig won't matter!

        Oh.. Goodie. We can chat about D&C and MoO.

        Not giving a **** is being stupid.

          Ditto. I have a VPN server on my Asus Router which allows me to connect to my home network.

          Took all of ten minutes to set up with no PM or BA required.
          I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

                Depends how complex a solution you can cope with to achieve this. I use 2x Remote Application Server using their HTML5 server/client. From a modern browser (I use Chrome) - I can access a suite of published applications or simply launch into a full desktop - all over port 443.

                This does have quite a few dependencies though, and mine is run in a "lab" setup that I've used to teach myself AD/RDS etc. so has a domain controller, and various RDS hosts in the setup to serve up the remote desktop configuration.

                Works great for me
