      Yea normally for the other company they pay an auditing firm to come in and inspect. But again, even in that case, no tickets/calls to IT for a request 🙂 and your right I don't want anything else added to the ever-increasing list of stuff.!

        Have and of the FOSS accounting packages met this need? Seems like that would be the best of both worlds.

            How about just put screenConnect (free version for 3 hosts) on that computer and let him connect to it from the web page. Simple to setup and use.

              I had no idea that they had a free option.

                It isn’t worth it compared to something like ZeroTier IMO.

                  Last I checked the ZT connection would be 'always on' unless you manually login to the website and disable and enable it. One vector for issues. Yes SC is permanent on but its like RDP.

                      You can limit it to the RDP port, though.

                        True but SC is much less work! RDP does have the full screen experience advantage.
