Let's look at 6 such tools that you can set up on your PC on the one end, and your phone or tablet on the other, in order to create a secure connection.

1) Chrome Remote Desktop

Chrome Remote Desktop is one of the simplest free tools that lets you remotely access your PC from a phone, tablet, or even another computer. It’s perfect for those looking for a lightweight, secure, and no-nonsense remote access solution.

It can work on any device that can run the Chrome browser

2) Microsoft Remote Desktop
