目前todesk和向日葵在链接海外节点时收费，特别不友好，而且经常三更半夜todesk会启动一堆客户端，感觉有人偷东西一样；AnyDesk（免费版）这个我有安装，但凌晨4点莫名其妙链接我的电脑，感觉也是有后面的，已经删除，不建议使用。强烈推荐大家安装谷歌官方的远程协助软件，完全免费，只需要在谷歌扩展中安装即可使用，超级简单方便，实测网速更快更稳定，谷歌官方出品就是牛逼哈。

超好用, 設定簡易, 對windows作為host機支持度十分高. 遠程操作是本, 但本地使用更貼合個人用戶. 我有兩台PC, 用switch切換連接同一個顯屏. 現在用了這remote方法, 袛要在client機上登入另一台host機, 一切變得好用. 使用體驗良好, 當然我不玩遊戲, 袛作一般用途十分理想, 桌面反應一點都不慢. 我現在寫這評論, 就是在client機上完成輸入, 由host機送出.
