Nowadays our jobs allow us to work almost anywhere. Usually, your home computer is the most convenient, and you adjusted it for your exact demands. But it's not reasonable to take a computer wherever you go. Fortunately, there is a tool that provides access to the home computer from work remotely. It also will support you to get access to your home computer from anywhere. You can use your laptop or even a phone to access it. Let's take a look at DeskRoll.

What DeskRoll is.

DeskRoll is a web-based remote access tool that requires no installation or configuration. Open your browser and you're ready to go. It's also useful when you need to access a home computer from a restricted office computer. For example, if you work at a bank, at a university, at a hospital, or at another state institution with a strict security policy, access a home computer from work may be very difficult. Software installation on computer at such public institutions often restricted by admins and it's a dead end for many remote access tools. With DeskRoll, you could simply access the home computer using a web-browser.
