    Using Anydesk for a few years now.
    I was with Teamviewer for a long time, But I'm not even sure there is a free version any more. I tried using it recently, but it seems to be constantly pushing you to pay for 200-300 quid for an annual subscription, They overvalue their usefulness.
    Anydesk is fine as long as you put a secure complicated password on the remote computer and disable remote access to your own. I would definitely NOT install it on a phone.
