Hello,

I'd recommend TeamViewer. It's user-friendly with GUI, provides secure encrypted communication, and allows multiple device management under the same account. TeamViewer is trusted worldwide and has a free version for personal use. For commercial use, they offer different pricing plans. Always remember to use strong passwords for added security.

Never used it but it is supposed to be the latest from MS. All of the above apps use encrypted connection.

There is always AnyViewer, the one I'm using now, after 2 years of using AnyDesk, a few months ago the raised subscription like a crazy, so I decided just stop using it!!! Still the cheaper subscription was about 184€ (with IVA included), and now they raised to 238,80€ WITHOUT IVA (+21% here in Spain)

I have used TeamViewer and currently use AnyDesk for supporting my mother-in-law remotely.
But they are constantly limiting what you can do with the free version.
I am looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

Simple, use Rustdesk @Gandalf_The_Grey
