Scottology Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I have an old desktop computer that is connected to my router through ethernet as it has no wifi capability. It has access control restrictions that prevent me from being able to access it remotely or download programs to. I need to be able to access a website that it only accessible from the router connected machine. Is there any sort of product or workaround that will let me access the machine remotely? Thanks!

chrizree Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Not sure if I understand the scenario correctly, but why isn't it possible to use the computer sitting in front of it? Why the need to access it remotely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I can access it just fine sitting at it but I want to be able to access it remotely so that I can do work remotely from my laptop without having to be routed in at a desk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
