Chrome remote desktop.

For people who have a need to control a computer remotely, I have had really good experiences wih Chrome Remote Desktop. It's free. They must have a dynamite data compression algorithm, because it's way faster than anything else I've tried.

The downside: I have qualms sometimes about privacy. I've never seen anything hinky -- but would you?
