chrome remote desktop - Brilliant

lundi 6 octobre 2014

I've got chrome remote desktop working on my Aldi tablet and its controlling my PC.



Fine - seems to work okay after first try. Quite chuffed.



Am worried about data useage - does anybody know know whether or not all the data flows into the internet and then back again or does it simply flow from PC to wifi router to tablet after the initial login is verified over the net via google account ? Have got a very expensive and very limited data plan due to awkward location in hillbillyland.



Why bother ?



Have been told to keep my foot elevated for most of the day and using the tablet as a "remote input device" for the computer whilst still being able to look at the big screen allows this to be done quite comfortably.



Whats your favourite handy little data useage meters I could install to check whats happening ? I've got wireshark installed but its horribly complicated and difficult to understand all the options and I dont know how to tell difference between internet data and LAN data



This will also be REALLY handy for when Mum phones me and tries to get me to solve computer issues over the phone - now I can do a remote login to her computer and fix things easily. That would definitely be over the internet rather than local.
