I am studying as a datatechnician and i need/would like a good remote software so i can work/study from home but it has to be free. I have tested parsec and anyview but parsec i lagging some quality of life things like clipboard files and drag and drop. And anyview has to accept the connection which wont work

Any help would be appreciated and help me out alot

Try NoMachine. https://www.nomachine.com/

I like AnyDesk as well.

rustdesk? Open source and mediation server can be self-hosted.

Can be installed and accessed unattended.

5

The free version of Anydesk works pretty decent.

6

chrome remote desktop, vnc, rdp, teamviewer

7

Either anydesk or install tailscale on both machines and use Microsoft remote desktop or Apple remote desktop ir whatever vnc/ssh client suits your fancy.
The latter is the best imho. Latency wise

8

Any software like this unless you open a hole wide open on your network needs a tunnel.

Royal TS has a free version. It’s neat!

2nd Google remote desktop.

12

after looking at google’s remote desktop it seems like the same amount of work to setup as parsec(free) and with same amount of features. But worse video quality.

but ill check it out some more so thx for the recomendation

3rd for Google Remote.
-Mouse/keyboard Response time is the fastest i have personally used.
-decent security.
-Very fast to connect.
-video quality and codec are adjustable.
-biggest issue is no multi-monitor support. (workaround needed, dragging your window across multiple displays)

I mean it would use a VPN but it’s just one you don’t have to manage

15

Enterprise Desktop subcription allows multiple computers access or single one?

16

But does’nt that require host side confirmation when trying to connect?

17

One thing that’s a huge productivity boost if you’re remoting from a single monitor like a laptop to a multi monitor system (my most typical usage) is to setup keyboard shortcuts to switch between the remote monitors.

18

Pretty sure the free tier allows for multiple connections, so I don’t see why the enterprise wouldn’t.

19

You can set up a password, so it will let you in without anyone on the host side. And it’s completely free, as long as you don’t connect to like 10+ different devices constantly. It works great too.

I would totally try out AnyDesk if you haven’t already.
