Remote access software provides access to a remote GUI or shell.

Description  edit

Security is always a key issue to consider when provisioning remote access to an information system. A [virtual private network], in which systems become members of the network, is one approach. Another approach, adopted by ssh and similar tools, secures an individual connection instead of an entire network.
