TECH Accessing/controlling my work laptop from my iPhone

[SBrooks1]

I need to access my work laptop from my iPhone. There's no VPN but I can't install programs on it. So I need a workaround.

Push the keys with the corner of your phone.

If your work laptop is a Mac, Screens Connect is good. If it's not, tell your work to stop being impoverished and buy you a Mac. Problem solved.

Maybe chrome remote desktop. Can you still install chrome without admin rights? Also, controlling a PC from a tiny ass screen without a mouse is a pain in the dick.

I tried that but the app requires installation of a program

Are they on the same network?

If so, download the MS RDP app.

You will need to install a teamviewer agent on the PC.

I've got the free TeamViewer program running and it didn't require an install with admin login

You need admin to setup unatttended access to make it useful.

"I don't have a vpn"
"i can't install programs"

How the fuck are you going to gain access then?

 

[Relax Preppy]

if your company has a security team that cares, teamviewer is going to be a huge red flag

splashtop is great we use it at our office

"Please go to sos.splashtop.com and give me your 9 digit code" i swear i say this 10 times a day now.
